okay. I got a response. My kids got here to spend the night about 3 minutes after I got Ts email, so I didn't have much time to process it, but it made me cry. Happy tears. It made me feel like the hole inside me is a little smaller than it was this morning. It was exactly what i needed to hear.
I always feel a little weird about posting someone else's email, so I'll just post a couple little parts of it. All in all it is over a page long, though.
First, there's this. PHEW! This was probably the biggest part for me.

And then she answered my other questions too:

Abandonment - you're getting there, give yourself some credit for how far you've come already. You don't seem like you had any kind of major melt down when I didn't get right back to you on this email  You likely had some big feelings - how did you handle them?
And, yes, we'll address other trauma. Please try not to get wrapped up in the future, we'll get there when we get there.

I mostly just felt, feel, like I can breathe again.
