I get it Mouse and I think your T did good. It could be easy to be instantly gratified and it could be easy for her to do it but it isn't what is best. My Old T explained this to me to explain why my New T wasn't saying or doing the things I wanted her to. Like when I had said I was scared that if I dropped something on the floor she would shout at me. She wouldn't tell me she wouldn't shout at me and it frustrated me. Old T explained that she WS trying to let me learn through experience because that is a deep learning, not a head learning, if that makes sense. That said I still don't understand what would be so bad about saying it and when New T and I talked about she did say that she wouldn't shout at me of I dropped something. But, she has never said things like 'I won't leave you' or 'I will always be here for you' which I am thankful for because neither of us can tell what the future holds.

Anyway, I digress. Just to say I get it and I think that is good work, albeit painful to acknowledge that it cannot be and that you are growing up.
