Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am thinking about a new therapist, but I'm going to give her one more chance. Funny, I felt good about what I said to my mother and I was expecting approval from my therapist. When I didn't get it I immediately blamed myself. Darn that pesky need for approval(that I never get anyway!)! With the help of this group, I'm feeling strong and capable. I know I said what needed to be said and I'm not bad for saying it.
