I remember your story with your T.

Wow, what an experience to get that hug from her! I can totally understand why you'd feel justified. I wonder if she felt remorseful, realizing later that denying you a hug was cruel. She might have been thinking heavily about that over the time you were apart. That would explain the hugeness of the hugs!

You've been through so very much; what hell you went through. I hope things are much better now.
