I'm going to work now but here's just my initial thought ...
Should we wonder why our therapist are so important to us, this intense emotional relationship that focuses just on us, just for us?
At my house we were supposed to be quiet when my mom was "resting". Unfortunately, that was during most waking hours, unless of course, she mustered the energy to go shopping, her only hobby.
And I tip-toed around my dad as well. I didn't want to draw any attention to myself. But I know he meant well, loved/loves me, just doesn't know how to express it or show it. Once he was driving me home from work, I was probably a freshman in college and he said, "You know, I don't think we've ever had a conversation, just you and me. Why can't we talk to one another?" My insides were screaming, "After 18 years, you finally noticed I existed?". I of course said nothing.
