From time to time, it has sounded recently that you are having a really rough time, despite having so much resilience and intelligence. When you spoke of therapy, you seemed to have come to the conclusion that it just raises an unbearable degree of dependency, because of the severe issues you have with your mother, but never resolves them or makes them less severe.
I think attachment-focused therapy, as practiced by the best therapists, is able to help these issues of severe early deprivation a lot. If you could find someone really good at doing this, would you be interested in giving it a try?
