So my "homework" every week is to e-mail my T what I want to talk about in session (because I have a hard time bringing things up). He asked me to start doing this in August. Before I agreed to do this, I mentioned that it was important to me that he respond back. Now, I'm not looking for a several paragraph reply, just a simple, "Thanks, got it." He agreed to respond back to the e-mails and has been holding to his word, until recently. The last three e-mails I have sent he has not responded to. It makes me feel stupid--like I'm talking to someone and they are just staring at me and won't say anything back. I trust everyone's opinions here so I want to know: Am I expecting too much? Am I overreacting?

If it gives any context, the reason that I like a response back is because my dad does this thing where I will be talking to him and he will stare at me and not say anything. It's very disrespectful and hurtful. When my T doesn't respond to my e-mail it feels very much like the situation with my dad.
