I'm glad you're getting some comfort, and good attachment from your T now. I can understand what you mean about needing more than a blank page though.>>>>>He believes that I did develop bonds to like my grandmother, a lot of teachers, and some caregivers, so that is what probably "saved" me from becoming disfunctional. My situtaion at home did affect me in a big way, but I did attach to someone at sometime, and If I didn't I could have been so much worse.
My T has mentioned this to me before. (((((grandparents)))) It's kinda scary to think about what may have happened if they weren't around, isn't it. I used to attach to my teachers, but that was more one-sided. Like, they never really knew how much I thought of and needed them, and in how much esteem I held their opinions. But it was really only returned with LadyDoc, and LadyT (I think, I thought...). I always used to refer to the whole group as my pseudo-parents. It sounds like you felt similiar when you were growing up.
Do something nice for yourself to relax, and take a break. We'll be with you during your T's mini-vaca.
