WinterRose.. I feel so much the pain of what you are going through. I'm so sorry. I feel the same way when my T reaches out to me sometimes. Its very hard to take. It makes me not push away the pain, and also to realize someone cares which hurts as much as it helps sometimes. Maybe creating this bond can be gradual. It seems like you are taking small steps towards opening up and becoming connected. Thats a bond to me. Just wanted to send you my encouragement.
