m-u-e,
I wish I could give you a real hug. Feeling that way sucks.
I bet T wasn't thinking that at all but that's the message you "heard." And I would've too!
After I started "fessing up" to T how those types of statements made me feel, she started asking "What did you hear me say" or I would tell her "When you said this--I heard that."
Right or wrong, it's what I heard but as scary as it was to tell her, it worked out and really helped us communicate better.
Maybe you could tell T how that made you feel because feeling the way you do is not going to help you one bit.
You can call T. He's not too busy for you, he's just busy. You are important enough.
