not sure if that helps but it is what i would do if i had such conflict going on.
This sounds like a good idea I will mention it to my t. The angry one is afraid for some reason when the thought of playing is brought up. He knows he will not be playing but he absolutely doesn't want anyone else playing. I don't know why. I have asked him but he does not have a conversation with me. He says what he wants and doesn't explain why. It might be because it is me that is asking. I don't know but usually I am the one at therapy when the issue of playing is brought up. I don't know if he would explain his objection to another. I will try to work this out in my head. Thanks
