Thanks for the responses Lost and Divine.

L is going to start once a week on a Saturday. I assume her H doesn't work on the weekends so he can watch the baby. So I understand she'll have time for me on Saturdays. But the rest of the week, she won't have childcare. If she's going to be my emergency support again when she comes back, which she says she will be, how can she make time for an emergency then when she can't make time for an email now?

Yes, we need to have a conversation about between session support. I think I'm still allowed my weekly emails, but probably not daily at the start because of childcare.

I just don't understand why she has a full week to at least read and respond that she has read it, and instead she texts that she hadn't even read the whole email yet.

Maybe I'm not being clear here with my legitimate expectations vs unfair reality? I just feel like if she can't handle an email once a week, how will she handle emergency support in two weeks? And how will she handle increased communication?

Am I not making sense?
