>I really wanted reassurance that I was going to be alright, and I'm pretty sure he knew that since we've talked about why I call when I do call. But I didn't get reassurance, I got, "Well, we both know there's nothing magic that will take it away. Why don't you send me an email in the morning telling me how your evening was?" Which I know is all true and that he meant it compassionately. But the little girl part of me really wanted reassurance...

Best way for someone to know something is to say it. If reassurance is what you really wanted, maybe next time tell him that directly and honestly that you are calling him for reassurance, and see what he says.
