Thanks for validating my wish and understanding how hard and painful all this is. Many people think it is just so natural for kids to wish for a different family but it wasn't for me. So it is scary and shocking to think about it now.

And the more I think about it, the more I realize that my wish had two parts, and my therapist responded to one part, the part that seemed the biggest, without responding to the other part. He has often said that in this process he will hurt me, accidentally, because he isn't a mind reader. I think that should be a required class in order to get your license - mind-reading 101. It would make it easier sometimes.

I like your therapist's response, it is gentle and not rejecting and so understanding. And it feels like she means it, not just some text book line that all therapists learn. I can see why you would want to crawl in her lap.
