No, I'm not upset at you. I thought you were right. I've sat here and thought about it for a few minutes and realize you may or may not be. Either way, I owe T an apology because I did cross that boundary. I just haven't crossed it in a long time. She's never reacted poorly in the past when I've done it, but that doesn't make it right any time I did it, including this time.

Thanks, Ike. There's nothing wrong with you either. I do idealize T to some extent, I think because she's been so authentic. I want to react to people similarly once I'm done with this journey.
