I have had a wonderful and very therapeutic relationship with T these past six years. He's a great guy and I love him very much. I know myself so much better than I did when I began therapy and have grown so much. I'm still struggling on many levels with the attachment to T. I experience a deep longing that I know in my bones is a longing for a validation from my mother that I never got. And as much as T can validate my experiences he will never be my mom. However, the deeper I go within myself and the more I can share with him, the more he can validate my experiences. This is the work; to learn to tolerate the pain of abandonment and try to experience some measure of healing through the validation he can give me even if he isn't my mom.

Miss,
You've been working a long time with your therapist and I'm glad that your relationship has gotten better and that you're feeling better and making progress. That's what it is all about. I'm really happy for you!
