I talked with T a lot about how I am uncomfortable being emotionally intimate with my mom. She said, again, that one of the first steps in healing is for the daughter to talk to the mom about abuse, and for the mom to acknowledge that she did not do everything possible to protect the daughter, and to acknowledge that the abuse took place.
I told T that I could never extemporaneously tell my mom that stuff on the phone. That I would want to have everything written out. Then I offered to do homework over my Thanksgiving break. I'm going to write out what I wish I could tell my mom.
Yeah, T made me cry again. Incorrect. I made me cry. T hit a sore spot- but I showed her the sore spot. It's okay. She made me happy again by the end of the session. She's good. very good. Made me feel brighter.
I will see her again in 12 days. ((((NewT)))) is ((((myT))))
she's so sweet and comfortable. Even when she's being sharp, she's not cutting.
I'll keep y'all abreast of my letter-writing exercise (exorcise?)
It promises to be rather dehydrating.
