My wonderful, thoughtful and lovely friend... I know it's not the same... but I love you, you've been such a wonderfully kind peron to me.
You're grieving for the loss of the relationship you had with your housemaster. It hurts like hell, but it's normal.
As for your relationship with your parents... me too, me too.
And you always deserve responses, love and attention simply because you are A) human B) a friend C) wonderful and completely loveable. (Or all of the above.

)
It is NOT your fault for the relationship with your parents, any more than it is mine with my own. Sometimes parents can fail with the showing of affection thing, and so much more at the same time.
Get in contact with me later okay? Otherwise I might track you down myself. I'm worried about my friend.
