Yes, my T does tell me that she loves me. I know that it comes from a good place and I do believe and try to make myself accept that she loves me. I don't see a problem with a T saying that so long as it is honest/genuine and not just to "make me feel good." I know that she loves me from a Christian perspective and as she has gotten to know me, she's mentioned that she loves me because she see's me in spite of and beyond my actions/reactions.

Odddly enough, I have never said it back to her but I do love her. I mean, I have a hard time saying thank you to compliments (usually I reciprocate them with silence or an "" look) but I think she knows that I love her too.
