You're not a burden, Velcro. You're a person with needs.

I like what L said about that. I suspect maybe that's part of why I haven't become a burden with Dr. T--because he knows his own boundaries and is generally clear about setting and holding them. So it's like if he let me get to the point of being what he considered a burden, it would be his fault for not setting boundaries. Same with L, or with your T, Velcro.
