Goodness @
Omers, that is shocking that Fired T behaved like that about your college wear. Shame on him!
I am so sorry you have been left in this position, but really glad to read that you still have Art T, and that she is there for you.
Given all you have written about Awesome T, I doubt very much that he will let you down, but yes the relationship going forward will be different and until you both reach that point after his return from his travels, neither of you can know what that is going to look like.
I know it is difficult not to torture yourself with the what-if's, but try not to look too far ahead and concentrate on getting through the now in the best way you can.
Take care,
E
