:) I love it! Got to love those boys!
I can feel the warmth spreading from the phone through you, all tucked tight under those blankets, feeling safe and secure and cared for. Everyone deserves to have and keep this feeling. Every child. Every adult. I'm glad he could do this for you.
It sounds like you have touch in on a very painful place around your dad, one which makes you feel young and vulnerable and sad. No wonder you need your therapist so much. And your younger self needs a lot of contact to make sure that the abandonment she felt before (and caused, right? Isn't there some magical thinking of children that assumes they are the reason bad things happen?) doesn't happen again. Overlay the adult who is mortified to have these feelings and needs and you have a painful, convoluted mess. It is difficult to sort it all out, especially alone. I'm glad you are seeing him tomorrow too.
