Emails are really hard to express and understand real emotions with and can end up causing more negative reactions for us. I hate somedays that my T wont reply if I email, so I don't bother but at the same time, it's good. I think I'm doing much better journaling and talking in person. I don't get weighted down with the misunderstandings or dismissive replies.
I'm sorry the reply was not what you hoped.... but what you did was great! Small step but it was still noteworthy. Good for you
