Anger at loved ones is a scary scary notion.
I have had such ambivilant feelings about my father. Ambivilant is so much harder than the way I feel about my mother. Although sometimes I think I ought to try to develop a bit more ambivilance in how I think of my mother.
Your therapist is doing a great job, it sounds like, of working with how you feel about him to get at your deeper issues. What we'd like them all to be able to do.
It doesn't feel as good as having them tell us they love us (in whatever way we want them to love us), but in the end perhaps it's more valuable. Which doesn't help much in the moment, I know.
D*mn it. I wish they'd just tell us they loved us like a client/daughter!!!
Oops. Looks like my own issues and desires slipped in there.
