Thank you so much, TN and PF, for your responses. Just reading them almost made me cry - the relief of "coming out" and getting non-judgmental reactions (not that anyone on this forum would do otherwise), but also the sadness of needing it so much and not getting it. I see him today; I hope I can articulate what I'm feeling. I've tried but usually only when I've gotten so mad that it comes out in anger, and then off we go talking about my anger. And, with that, it's back to my mom and therefore not him. Not real enough for that moment! Does that make sense? It's just not all about transference. Which leads me to the ambush hug; I am so going to do that to him some day. Just not today.
