stormy, at first I was so confused by this thread!! Then I saw that it was from 2009!!! It made me feel hopeful to read that you had the same attachment problem and need for your T as many of us do, and now you're a T!

xeneon, I'm glad you have had teachers who serve as mother figures for you. You gave stormy some good advice. It's interesting that you found this old thread (how did you find it? Did you search the site for threads on attachment? I'm curious) just when a few threads are discussing this very issue.
