Oh you've been tremendously helpful. By sharing your own experiences you have validated my experiences. Not only that, you're even thanking me for making you think about your experiences. This kind of consideration only goes to show me how considerate you must have been with your T and how hurt you must have been when you did not feel that validation back from your T. Validation is important for all people but for some people and in some stages in life, it's exceptionally important. And I feel you understand that.
