Dear T,

Wish I could talk to you about a thing with my parents right now. (H probably wishes that, too, so he wouldn't have had to hear about all of it!) I really do fear exploding at them at some point...Maybe we need to talk more Monday about this, assuming I haven't already gone too far in asking my dad about something. Waiting on responding to my mom.

I mean, I guess it is his birthday tomorrow, but I wasn't aware of him being some huge college basketball fan (football, yes; basketball, no). And what if *I* wanted to watch the games? (This has happened with NFL games before, when they *know* I'm a fan). I had a plan on how it could work to spend a bit of time with him on his birthday, but I guess maybe, at least according to my mom, it's not acceptable.

Sigh...

Miss you, and the fact that I felt disconnected from you in session yesterday doesn't help. I wouldn't email you over this though, unless there ends up being some big blowup. I think my text to my dad was OK.

Love,
LT
