That's bigger than a lightbulb moment --- it's a lightening bolt! I'm sorry that you have to live through those weekends.
Sundays are hard for me too. And like always, we come from these feelings from opposite experiences but feel the same way in the end. For me, I associate Sundays with my grandma. Our family would go to church and she would have lunch for us every week. My grandma was the one person in my life that loved me no matter what. I felt loved in her presence, she radiated happiness and acceptance. Now I feel the emptiness and lonliness of the day.
I'm so glad you are going to have your check in phone calls again. I understand the awkwardness you may feel. But he will soothe your fears once he starts talking. He's good on the phone (or so I remember).
Telling our t's what we need is extremely hard. My t asked me today, "How can I help you?". It took awhile to come up with my reply. And I think I figured out something else. We're not used to letting others in, at least close enough to want to help us. We grew up thinking that we have to take care of ourselves. But your t does want to help you. And I think he already has. I am so happy that you found each other.
