I treat my T's with respect, probably because I respect me and have respect for others. But I've had some awful moments when I've cried so much I couldn't speak. But it was a safe place to cry and leave it there.
Except current T seems to trigger things and I've sat in the carpark a few times sobbing for a while until I've pulled myself together. I stopped working on those days because I was too much of a mess to go back to work.
