I am just sort of reading and taking all this in. My T went away for six weeks last summer with no contact and right in the first week my apartment building burnt down. He's doing it again this year. I think we're going to have to plan very carefully. I'm also approximately 600% more attached to him now than I was then.

He did tell me the string thing, or an equivalent, that we can meet together physically once a week but otherwise, I can "tune in" to him at any time to feel our connection, and he will be there. It's helped.
