Hi jammerlich,
I think I would feel hurt too, but I would try to talk it over with my T...because maybe she didn't mean things that way and she just worded them in the wrong way. It has happened with my T that I've felt really really hurt by something she said but when we've talked it over it felt better and helped to share feelings...I understand about your teacher friend. I have a teacher who is my special friend too and there have been months in which she has been less available to me, but I wanted to share some hope that in time, our friendship remained and even though there are times in which she hasn't been more with me and I've needed her and it caused me to shut down a lot, we are still very special friends...sometimes she's very very busy and maybe going through things herself...maybe that's what's happening with your teacher friend too. But it doesn't mean that you'll lose the friendship.
I think it would be good if you could share with your T how you truly felt with what she said and talk it over with her...
it is ok to need her...it truly is. Maybe she meant things differently...I hope you can talk to her.
sending you support,
Frida
