I also feel the same way. I had a French teacher for three years and I felt I was close to her. But I don't think she cared about me as much as I cared about her. She liked me as a student (because I was the "best" and did all my work perfectly), and she often praised me infront of the other students and teachers. This approval made me feel important and I began to admire her. I wrote really deep short stories and poems for assignments and she always talked about how great they were. I was never close to anybody in my life - not to any "best friend" or a family member - but I felt I became close to her because she knew me well from my writings.
I always wanted her to love me like a daughter, but the problem was that I don't think she ever really cared about me - she only cared about my work ethic. Maybe she did/does love me, but she would never show or say it. She knows that I love her, but I don't think she knows how much I love her.
I will be graduating from high school in a few days, and I'm not sure as to when I'll see her again. She might forget me, but I don't think I will ever forget her.
is it normal that i wish my teacher loved me like a daughter
