Thanks, raisenb. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and share your take on this with me. I agree with everything you said. Up to and including whether or not I think this t is going to be the right one to help me with the rejection & abandonment issues I have and to help that child living inside to mature so 'it/she' doesn't keep needing someone to mother it/her.
She give me such mixed signals on that. Sometimes she seems happy to accept the role as sort of like a 'good parent' and other times she doesn't make me feel so warm and fuzzy. I know.. it's all about ME, isn't it? Dr 'x' would say "Sharon, you are not the center of everyone's universe!" I hate when she says that, but she's brutally honest, and that is one of the things I like about her. She will always tell me the truth. Again, the self-centeredness is probably just the nature of the Beast, but I don't want to be self-centered, wearing my feelings on my sleeve, at least as far as her treatment of me is concerned. I know this is just leftover crap from not having been held or nurtured in anyway and not having ever developed a bond with my Mother. I love her (mom) but we're like friends. I love her like I would a friend. She doesn't feel like a "mom." If that makes any sense.
Well, I better get to work. Thanks again, Raisinb. I sure appreciate your insight. I hope you have a good day!
Sharon
