Chapter 4 - Acting As If

[bigybiz]

Just came back from a family therapy session with S16 and S10. S16 expressed far more at the Dr's office than ever at home. Basically said too much confusion with the different factions of our family.

He did say he wished things could go back to the way it was - but he knew that was not his mum's wants. That was nice to hear.

S10 did not say much today.

I asked the Dr what we can do - the three of us to ensure we "launch" this part of our family (Boys and I). He said there is the risk of resentment and disappointment from the boys - no way to know. He did say we are doing the right things so far.

Again, he said we would have more success if W and D20 would come. They both knew about it. I understand D20 - she is building her own life autonomy from her family is a good thing.

W - she just wants to blame (I think) and the Dr won't accept that - so she won't come.

Let's see what happens next week.
