Has it been that long? Crap.
Lots of things have happened, yet lots of things remain....stubbornly the same.
I had made a pledge to our therapist to write at least once a day a few paragraphs.
I did write once, about my dad's record collection (it was an NPR thing)
This is the second time I have written.
Crap.
My wife is very pleased that I am writing. She doesn't like to see me in nonproductive guilty mode.
[break to take a bath on this painfully hot day]
We are seeing our therapist again today. Interesting meeting last week; she talked to me and my wife: Princess remained home.
She had observed notable differences in how Princess behaved with mom vs. dad. Basically, she listened to and deferred to mom; she made demands and generally got her own way with dad.
Also, Princess's crying episodes at therapy (the last one with me, she literally buried her head under the sofa pillow for most of the session, in what looked to me as an act of passive resistance to therapy), were only when I was around, not when Mom was.
I was supposed to write everyday, and read for pleasure three times. I guess I did the reading if you count blog reading and not book reading.
Grandma came over and helped us clean. Both princess and her sister now have rooms we can walk through. The rest of the house remains a challenge. Bloody heat.
Off to see our therapist now.....
