There are also some great books out now for children who were victims of abuse. I hope I am not being too presumptious in suggesting these but here's a link to Amazon.com. Maybe you could pick one of these books to read to T or have T read it to you. Down on the bottom of the page are books about various kinds of abuse.
BTW I used to write T long letters and could never even dream of reading them to him. Letters are meant to be read by the reader, not the writer!
Take gentle care.

hi misscharlotet maybe at somepoint i will be able to read to T but i might order these books just because i do love childrens books and maybe it is possable i looked these up and they look interesting.im going to the university library to see if they would have them they have an awsome kids section.
OMG i have visions of my T pulling her hair out in a fit of frustration if i showed up with a drawing
screaming NOT ANOTHER WAY TO AVOID USING WORDS.this was my first reaction but i bet that wouldnt happen because i made her 2 cards she has one and she just wanted to talk to me about it.i just made her another one and sent it with the letter she wants to read to me.the only problem is i am awfull at drawing.
