For those that used these did either actually help? Did you bring them up or did T?
And yes, I know how *** (all kinds of judgment words) this sounds so please I don't need to hear about just growing up and dealing with it. I can do that, it is about trying to find a better way.

I totally get where you are coming from as I feel very attached to my T and when I see her next week (she gets back tomorrow) it will have been 9 weeks since I've seen her as she has been gone for 8 weeks .. in truth I've found it extremely difficult and told her I hated her at one point whilst she has been away .. I have had weekly contact with her though which has helped but my whole abandonment issues have been so bad with her gone, so sadly I don't have any helpful advise as I've not coped well. How long is your T going away for? I hope you are able to have contact with your T whilst away
