Get emotional support and friendship from others like you!

Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups. Since 2001, we have provided a safe, supportive place online to share your thoughts & feelings, get support and advice, share your wins and stories, all without judgement. Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

It hurts that she’s with her kids now, that she cares about them more than she cares about me. Of course I know that’s the way it should be, but it hurts anyway.

I just don’t understand why therapy have to be so hard. Why do I need her this much?

It sounds like you have a strong transference with your therapist, so naturally you feel abandoned, and envious of her time with her *real* children.

Years ago, when I was in therapy with a psychologist I had a major transference with I wrote letters to him while he was on vacation. Some I gave to him, some I threw out...but writing them was helpful.
