One of my parents is a t. I like to think they aren't particularly good at it because I want to believe other t's are more aware of people's feelings. My parents are divorced and don't seem particularly good at relationships, although they avoid extremes like physical abuse. But maybe my parent is an average t. In spite of that, I still believe good t's would be better at relationships. Maybe this thread will help get rid of my idealism a little. I need to believe a good t's ability to teach us about relationships is something genuine though-- not something you can only do in a fake therapy setting.
