Oh, I understand. Feelings are facts...they are not....right or wrong....they just are; and should be honored an validated.
I am 61 years old (still feeling like a teenager), and had an abusive mother (never knew my father), so I was abandoned emotionally by a mother, and physically by a father.
It is natural to want what we never had, and t's are (or should be) trained to understand all of that. Perhaps you could write a letter to your mother about all of your thoughts and feelings, etc.......send or don't send with the help/advice of your t.
My t told me that my "friends have become my family." That is true; I share my life with them......
I think as much/or as more talking you do with your t on your feelings, etc.......that will help.
Feelings are facts.....
Hugs, Sassy
