My T and I have discussed having my mother come in with me. Maybe one day we'll do it. So far, though, we've talked about it as something that would be A Very Good Thing to do when I feel stronger, when I've made more progress. From that standpoint, it's a sign of how far along in the process you might be, huh?

I guess for me, the questions I'd want to examine before bringing my mother is are all variants of what I want from the experience? And how will I react if/when my mother starts getting upset? Will I be able to separate myself from Mother's distress? Or will I take it on myself? (I do that...)

Once I have those answers, and I'm a little less emotionally raw, I still plan to do it. And maybe my husband, too...
