My therapist didn't tell me for sure that she was coming either. I didn't know that she had been there until I saw her at our next session. Maybe they don't want to promise us something and not be able to keep that promise for some reason (like they have a sick kid or something). So they tell us that they MIGHT come.
You could bring it up like this "This weekend I was agonizing over something, so I guess we should probably discuss it. I'm really conflicted over whether I want you to come to my concert or not". The discussions that have to do with our reactions TO THEM can be very valuable. They can be really hard, too. But I usually figure that this is what I'm paying money for - so I don't want to lose the therapeutic opportunity, so I just barrel into it.
I also sense that you are having trouble accepting that you are special, but not very special. What would it mean to be very special to him? Is being just "special" not a good thing?
