I'm late coming to this-- sorry.
It seems to me that your T. has no idea how you are able to connect!

Just look at all these wonderful supportive replies you've gotten. I would say that you've made some kind of connections...... at least, it seems that way to me. I'm sorry T. said that to you-- as it wasn't helpful for you at this time.
I'm also so so very sorry for the wonderful treasure of a child that wasn't given the chance to feel that way.

My heart is with you. You were wronged in so many ways dear one.
I am unable to know what else to say as I only want to say the right things and I'm not always sure what that might be..... not just with you-- but with everyone.
I think it's good you "talked" about some things here-- I hope it's been helpful for you.


something I noticed about you--- YOU let people know that you're aware they posted to you, either by a reply or a "thanks"..... I think that speaks volumes about caring and compassion. (I notice such things-- as not being heard is a
huge trigger in my world....)
thinking of you
