But he doesn't convey feelings of personal sadness or anger.
I had a happy childhood, I just didn't manage to be happy.
Although it is true that when I mention positive things that happen to me now or positive things that I do for myself, T does seem happy about it. Which is really nice.

I wouldn't call that happy. And that is definitely abusive, although certainly not seen as "bad" in our world. My T says that emotional abuse can be worse than physical abuse. 4 days of silence is incredibly mean, harsh, and abusive.
