She must be seeing a lawyer...what now?

Lighten up on yourself a bit, okay?

Thanks, I needed that.

I got it from S13 today too.

I took him and D17 to dinner tonite, and they started some serious bickering. I eventually had to intervene, and told them we just needed to stick together right now. S13 was still pretty upset, and I asked him what he needed.

He said he was just "so tired of all the pity and sadness".

I thought I had been doing a pretty good job of hiding my feelings, but they really see everything. So I'm gonna get back to serious work on PMA.

By the way, their argument was over optimism vs. pessimism. S13 now advocates pessimism as the best way to protect himself from inevitable pain. Think optimism only leads to disappointment so why bother. Phew. Before our sitch, he was the most optimistic one.

I'll get my PMA together, and show him a better alternative.
