You sound like my T! In the very best way. Thank you for reaffirming the normalcy of this process.

Good point,
Perna! I am lucky that he has been willing to go my (snail's) pace with this.

This is so true,
Bluedove, and I am tearing up realizing it. Nobody who loved and cared about my well-being would address my anger this way. T has respect and care and says things like, "Of course you're angry, anyone would be" and "You're not hurting anyone with your anger." I learned to take on T's caring voice when I am scared, I bet I could do it when I'm angry, too.

Thanks, tinyrabbit. You're right. This is a very emotional time for me and it's okay to get extra help. A small part of me worried T will be put out, but I know he had an open slot and he wouldn't have offered it if it wasn't willing to give it. I have to trust him on that.
