Things sound really rough...I'm sorry for that. I think that you have a good handle on the "why" she acted as she did and I'm sure you can do the whole song and dance about her being human, having a life, etc. etc.
I think at the end of the day, the truth is that your feelings were hurt and there was this huge disappointment that she couldn't be there for you the way you needed her to be. After all, you held stuff and waited to talk to her. And all that upset had to go somewhere, otherwise you'd explode!
It is really hard when we run head long into the limitations of therapy and our therapist. I think sometimes we are very much like ShortE described -- little children who need to be the center of their mother's universe. We learn to tolerate it when we aren't, but it is a painful process.
Timing, as they say, is everything. I'm sorry the timing on this was so lousy. Falls is very fond of telling me that we learn a lot from these "theraputic opportunities." I tell her there should be an easier way.
Hang in there.
