It sounds like things are really going well and I'm glad you got an authentic response. It is amazing how those things lead to those "other" things that continue to pop into our lives.
I know what you mean about those quality comments. The one I'm never sure what to do with is, "in light of what came up today" -- I always want to ask, "where you surprised? Are you worried? Did I over react? Is this bad? Good? urg!" Yesterday I said something about therapists having to be sort of Jack of All Trades, since I started into therapy looking for someone to help me with life goals and then we started working on empty nest stuff, and then the old trauma and now marriage stuff. He said that is what he expects in a deep therapy and it was good and very satisfying for him. Then he quickly added, "it might not feel good at times..." Hate that word "good".
Mother stuff is really painful. I hope you post for support around it when you need to.
