> Well, okay. Perhaps you're correct and Im just paranoid. But I do think it's a bit of a stretch to know what your T's uncle, sister, brother, does for a living. Im just not very..um, "Familiar" with that kind of "familiarity".I don't think there's any way for me to judge what is 'correct' or not unless I were in the situation myself. Well, I know that it HAS caused happyflower some distress, and in that sense, I believe that her T has done her more harm than good to become TOO familiar. I doubt you're paranoid. cautious is not bad, so don't be so hard on yourself.
