Hi Retro... I just had a conversation with T yesterday asking some of the same questions. I feel so needy I can't stand it. We are trialing a week with no contact (unless I have a dream, which I can send him). I asked him in a round about way if he liked me, and he said he does, because "I care and I try". Which to me seemed hokey and generic, I was hoping for "because you're a thoughtful, intelligent, good person who I feel protective of, because you've been through a lot" . Anyway... Just wanted to say I feel ya. This attachment stuff is tough, especially if we didn't get it early on...
