>>>Can you mourn something that never existed? And if so, how do you ever get over it? It feels much harder than mourning an actual relationship. <<<
Yes, I think you can. You are mourning that it was never there, that it wasn't enough. I know that feeling all too well. I have a mother that is (still today) just a physical shell of a person. So I mourn for the mother that I never had, someone to ask, "how are you feeling today?" and really care to listen to the answer.
I'm glad you shared this pain with your T. She can help you resolve this former relationship. It just takes so much work AND time. But you will get there. I know you will.
