I'm really happy for you that everything is making sense now! I'm sure it feels good to know why you are the way you are and now have something specific to work from.

I connect a lot with your story. I attached to a teacher in 5th grade when my parents did not give me as much attention because they were busy dealing with my dad's suicide attempt. I totally understand wanting people to say they care and that they are there, those are probably some of the best words I can hear from someone.

My hope is that you and T can work through this and resolve some of the challenges you have because of it.
