I hope she calls you back soon. It does sound like she was glad to hear from you. That in itself should take away some of your angst. But I do understand that "but I shouldn't need this" stuff. I'm glad you allowed yourself to call.
The whole idea of being interdependent is a tough one because I think for those of us who were trained to believe that being completely independent was the goal, any kind of dependency needs feels bad. And yet, what would we say to anyone else having a bad day, or needing some TLC? It actually shows a tremendous amount of strength that you reached out for what you needed. That is truly very hard. Good for you!
Hang in there. Let us know what happens.
