I am a t nightmare, it won't ever work for me. He's always late, so he doesn't look at my file or anything, and he is always playing with his phone, so he isn't hearing what little I do say. It's a train wreck.

I thought his response was nice... He says he values your therapy together and that he needs to know what you need. He validated you for what you wrote to him about how you feel. These are all very important things (for me). He acknowledges the "void" the two of you have and seems to really want to work on this. I understand why you want him to apologise, but maybe he feels it more appropriate to do so to your face? My T often seems to ignore what I see as the most important bits of my emails, and if he does then I bring it up with him in session. I often find he wants to explain things in more detail in session rather than in email in case I misinterpret him in email. Could you take this thread with you and show it to him if you dont feel about to tell him verbally how hurt you feel?
I'm also sorry for the loss of your dog- it is very hard when a beloved pet dies
