Can I just point out here that this is abused child kind of thinking? We will just take whatever is offered and never speak up and never get enough of what we need. That's one of the reasons you're in therapy to start with. It would be one thing if you were asking to move in with her. But as far as I can tell, you are asking for realistic and appropriate things to address your needs. Please, please try not to minimize them or yourself. Okay?
You're worth this, Jammer. And I hope she will come through for you. But if not, I feel pretty positive that you can find a T who will.
