I've found my T to be very straight-forward with me; he has a genuine honesty with me that I appreciate. Is that the same thing as being "real"? I guess that depends on your definition of "real"? Look, I don't expect him to behave with me the same way he behaves at home. I don't know of anyone who does that except the people who live with me at home. But he does have a genuineness, honesty, and directness with me that is true to our relationship. I've seen him work with my husband and my sons also, and he's very much the same with all of us. We all pretty much see him, personality-wise, the same way. Could be because we are all related I suppose, or it could be that he is who he is, professionally, fairly consistently.
