Very interesting perspective Perna. I hadn't thought of that. Yes, my motive is rather selfish, I suppose. I want to apologize because I now know better ways to handle things rather than to disappear, and I wasn't fair to that T to do so all those years ago.
I do plan to discuss it with my T, if the thoughts continue to pester me. I did recently have someone on my medical team take a long-term leave, and maybe that has triggered this desire to reconnect and apologize to old T. Interesting...
