This second T of mine was a colleague of my first one, at the time she left they had been working together for some time... the address was not given to me, she sent it on my behalf, however I know where my first T is now & could write her now on my own if I wanted to because she told me where she was going before she left... I will eventually send her an update on how I'm doing now & how the work went that she was supposed to do with me & such things, but she really appreciated the one I sent & was raving to my second T about how well I write & how much I wrote! She heard me, I got everything out, I'm satisfied! It's not so ideal, in a perfect world she'd be able to respond, but I'd rather her hear me at least than have nothing at all.
That kind of thing isn't for everybody, but if you're a letter writing person & have the patience to sit with it & work on it & especially since you express yourself so well in writing in particular, I think it would help you!
One of the reasons I keep posting to you on your threads is because I know what you're going through, on some other level, you're going through where I was a mere few months ago & I can relate so much to your situation now dealing with the loss & transitioning out of it! I guess I should stop yapping now, just know I hear you & I truly understand where you're at right now!

Yap all you want! I'll read it all
You said it's been a few months for you. Is there anything else in particular that has helped you through this process? Anything that helped you with your new T?
I LOVE the idea of having my new T send it. That is awesome!!! Then it would make it appropriate. Only problem, my T HATES the group my new T is part of. She called them drunks and crazy. But I guess I shouldn't care, huh? She didn't care enough to help me through this, so why should I care if my T hates my new T. It honestly shouldn't matter to her who my T is since I didn't seem to matter to her in the end. More thinking. More processing.
And yes, I absolutely love writing. Funny story: growing up, I was an underachiever. They almost held me back in grade school because I struggled with cursive and multiplication. In hs, my English teacher tried to kick me out of her class because she thought I would fail (there's a lot more to that story...another time). But I had a history teacher who was an intern. I wrote a paper for her and she asked to keep it to use an example for future classes. I was dumbfounded. But that was the first time anyo e complimented me on my writing. Then in college, I had an awesome English teacher. There were 5 papers...that's it. No other work. It was credit/no credit, but in order to get credit, you had to write an A paper. 5 A papers = an A in the class, 4 = B, and so forth. It was awesome because it taught me how an A paper should be written. And I got an A in the class

But yeah, I love love love writing.
