Dear T,

I mean, I'll tell you this first part tomorrow, but *of course*, H has "cooled considerably" on parenting T K now. And seems reluctant to meet with her again soon, despite more issues with D in school today.

The part I won't say in session: I really wish you weren't going away next week. I feel like we're in a place where I'm talking about lots of important stuff, related to H in particular, like I'm sharing stuff I hadn't realized I was holding back until it all came pouring out in session. I worry your being away might sort of shut off that valve for me. I suppose I could talk about some of it with R? But I've really appreciated the support from you, a male, with a wife and a child, in validating me here. It might not feel the same coming from R.

And, OK, the plane crash last night is freaking me out. I have no idea if your time off involves air travel. But what if ATCs quit en masse in protest, or at least in response to the "resign by Feb. 6 and get paid till September" thing? Would your flight be safe? I mean, you won't even tell me if you'll be on a flight at all, I'm sure (though maybe you'd possibly tell me if you weren't flying? Or maybe you could at least say if that particular airport is involved?) And I'm also triggered by all the stuff that was said regarding disabled people due to D (well, and I have a psychiatric disability, too). I will talk about this last part.

This will be a lovely birthday session for me tomorrow...Glad I'm seeing you though.

Love,
LT
