Thank you for your kind welcome back to the board. That's good that you don't have a habit of instantly attaching to therapists, I think. I know what you mean about the second mom thing. That is how I think about my T too, altho I have had romantic sorts of feelings for her as well. She is like a friend, a mom, a sister and a romantic interest all in one. Augh!!
About your attachment to imaginary things...and your hamster...well, that's kind of cute! And seemingly more appropriate! :)
Thanks again! Allison
