In reply to How does you T show they care?, posted by Speaker on September 22, 2004, at 11:03:46
This is a question I would have thought would be easy to answer because I am so certain - now - that my T does care about me.
Is it that I've seen him for six years (and counting) and he hasn't thrown me out? Is it that he has reassured me again and againt hat I have some worth? Or is it that he has had the kindness and patience to help me?
He called me a few times when I was going through rough periods. It shocked the beejeezus out of me (the lengths I go to to respect the "be civil" rule!). And he tells me that he cares about me - when I told him once that I wanted him to love me, he said I couldn't expect that. I could expect caring, respect, etc, but not love. That felt very caring.
He does care. And I know it. I used to be convinced that he hated me - it took him a lot to talk me out of that.
