I just had one of those aha moments. I was thinking about how when T says "you have to give 'that' too yourself" it leaves me feeling abandoned. But I was forcing myself to see all the other stuff about T and it kept nagging at me that somethings not right, that's when it hit me. My mother was always "you should be like this or like that, or you should do this for me or that for me" and I grew to believe that was because she cared about me but its the opposite and what T is saying is "be whatever you want to be, be however you want to be". She's giving me all the parts of me back to me instead of taking them accept I can't read it I can only read dysfunctional scripts, being "captured" by my mothers codependency felt like love. And when I come across someone healthy it feels so unfamiliar that I feel abandoned. How f++king crazy is that???????

It feels like I've got to let go of something I've learnt to cling too to find something that I"m not sure is there, have to trust!!!!! Oh I get it now! I've been trying to recreate that same dynamic with T and she of course won't join in and it hurts!! Unyet she's giving me freedom. Cripes talk about stockholm syndrome!

Oh, what wonderful insight, earthmamma. Yup, how well did you give to your mother so she was satisfied? T can't give to you either, only you can give to you what you need because only you can know what that is! It is scary though, taking back one's power for one's self.
