Dear CW,

We haven't even discussed my mother yet, but if she were on the table as a topic for therapy, I would tell you that she's now twice ignored comments from me about the awful side effects of the Lupron and then also my response to her request for an update on my sprained thumb. I mean...huh? I am finding it hard not to snap at her over this. And I can't even begin to know how to fix it.

And like all therapists on the topic of my mother, you would then sink in your teeth and not let go and we would never get around to talking about what I need help with now. So I won't be telling you that.

ATAT

PS And I am pretty sure that my dead parent would have responded and showed concern.
