So yeah, I defiPnitely understand that you'd feel upset. I hope I haven't made you feel worse or anything, I don't think our Ts intend to make us feel bad, but if it did hurt your feelings then it clearly touched on something and you do have the right to feel bad. Hope you can clear this up with your T soon.  |
Wow you hit it exactly! When I left I emailed him and was like thanks for making me feel totally insignificant!!
Anyway, yes he always emails me back. The only time he doesn't is when he is waiting for me to cool down. Which I'm assuming he was waiting for me to do. I didn't though, I just kept getting madder so he emailed me back.
He says he wasn't comparing me to anyone. That he was just trying to get me to look at the situation about his child in a positive manner. Maybe I remembered it wrong. Idk.
