A good parent does have the ability to care about more than one child; a good T has the ability to care about all their clients.
I'm so sorry that your experience was like that, granite, so dysfunctional, so hurtful.....and I see how it would be something that would affect your other relationships with other people. But the truth is, that you are not scum on the bottom of anyone's feet......nor are people who are truly able to care for others in a healthy way (and Ts should certainly be safe and healthy in that way!) going to see you or treat you like that. At all.
