MC,
Me again. It occurred to me that maybe part of why I got weepy in the car wasn't just about you going out of town. Maybe it's partly because you're going on that trip with your daughter, and I may still have a little bit of paternal transference going on...because really, the stuff over the past few weeks, I worried about you being angry or disgusted with me, whether you'd still accept me. And I wanted you to comfort me and advise me on what to do. That all seems kinda paternal...hmm...
