It is very validating when a T gets angry on our behalf, like we have a right to feel angry and wronged, too.

I can still disclose knowing she is there and at the same time, I found it sweet and caring of her (she didn't overreact anyway).

Her being speechless didn't bother you?

Thanks for answering my question! I think I might have the same reaction if I felt like she was extremely sad. I think I would freak out and get scared that I had said too much. But I also understand the opposite side of that, feeling closer to her because she understands. It is really weird some of the non-verbal communication that goes on.
