I think it's not abnormal. I've been in a similar situation, it just means you're looking for an older role model, and you see a parental figure in your teacher, especially if she has been there for you so much.
For me it was my youth leader. There where times I wanted to run and hug him (quite childishly) because he was such a father figure to me, but I often felt like it was inappropriate. In the end I thought for a while, then approached him and told him exactly what was going through my mind. After that it felt different. He accepted me as more than just one of the kids. Telling him what I was thinking, and knowing he accepted it, made me less desperate for his attention.
is it normal that i wish my teacher loved me like a daughter
