I think your emotional side is wounded and hiding. You are forcing "growth" (for lack of a better word) on her and it feels like it is happening very fast. I think she might feel threatened that 'you' are willing, at some point, to give up 'her' safety -- your therapist. And I think change will feel different, not worse or better, just different.
I don't have much insight to the sudden apathy, I'm sort of struggling with it around therapy myself. You suggested anger to me, is that a possibility for you as well? Could you be angry that he isn't showing more support for school? Or, perhaps your emotional side got scared from the really hard work you were doing a few weeks ago and this is her pulling back.
I know you know this, but trying to sort it out, here and in therapy, is a quicker way to understand it. I don't want you to go away. I still need your emotional support. You help me understand and accept myself in parts and pieces. I wish I could lend you the talisman to hang on to for awhile. I know it helps me.
