I can understand how that would make you feel bad. Receiving the same message two times would sting me as well. In my opinion I think your brothers message may have been given out of lack of knowledge or bias (again I really would not know of course). To hear your T say that again ouch. However in my opinion your T's response while the same as before may be based in something else and talking to your T about it would be very useful. Perhaps covering himself, perhaps out of some research that says folks will little sleep have displayed certain characterictics. That reasearch can be what is concerning your T not that YOU in particular are not fit but that T can't give an OK knowing there is evidence out there to suggest potential problems could arise under certain circumstances. It's a differance that may be hard to see especially when it so stronly feels like the same hurtful message. I hope you talk to your T because I think you can then understand better why T said that.
