You know, I never even considered that he wouldn't remember or wouldn't consider it abuse. But I'm sure it's very possible, maybe even probable. The first thing that came to my mind is that he was just being mean, kind of twisting the knife, in a way. Daisy, does your Dad try to make physical contact with you? Mine seems to want to hug me all the time and I hate it. I can tolerate an arm around the shoulders, but sometimes he pulls me close in a way that feels too intimate and I wish I could crawl out of my skin.
I knew you would understand about having my space invaded. It really has nothing to do with my T. That's one area where I trust her completely. I know she would never divulge anything. I'm not sure I can explain it very well, but it's simply my mother's presence that is disconcerting. And even if she didn't know exactly what was going on, the fact she might find out *something* is up is too much for me - it leads to questions and false displays of concern. And seeing that my T came in for me during her vacation would certainly tip her off! But yes, I can come up with some explanation and that does help ease my mind somewhat. How have things been going with your invasion? Did your T get the scheduling worked out?
And no, I absolutely do not think others here are bad for relying on their T's. I've also not read here about a situation where someone's T came in just for them during a vacation. But even if I did, I wouldn't think that person was bad. That's another thing I don't understand - why I can't be as kind to myself as I am to others.
