{{{{{{{{{{sunnydays}}}}}}}}}}}Wow, have I been there, done that. I love being able to e-mail my T, but sometimes it creates WAY more issues than it solves. It's so painful and scary to try to interpret what he "means" by his responses sometimes. I would have had the exact same response you did to his e-mail....even knowing all of the possibilities - maybe he's busy and doesn't have time to e-mail, maybe he doesn't "get" how upset I am, etc, etc.
What I have learned to do in your situation is CALL. Usually, when I can hear his voice, and we can talk about whatever is going on, and whatever fears his e-mail generated, I feel a lot better. It is really hard to me to pick up the phone...but the couple of times I have called, it's helped. I know Saturday must feel REALLY far away right now...maybe you can give yourself some relief and touch base with him, on the phone, before then.
From what I've read, it sounds like you have a really good T. I don't think he would want you to suffer from now until Saturday.
I'm sorry you're feeling so bad right now. Maybe some other people here can give you some words of wisdom that will help!
