The child was parroting the nonsense of the alienating parent to the other. This parent looked calmly at the child and said: Sweetheart, what is my reaction to you as you tell me such horrible things? Do I appear sad, upset or angry? No. My only concern is you. I am so sorry you have been caused to think and say such things. It must be hard on you given how nicely we actually get along.

She saw her doctor. Her symptoms were consistent with depression. She was prescribed an antidepressant. She was still depressed when we met. Her partner complained that in recent years she had grown suspicious of him. He denied any wrongdoing. She didn’t have any tangible evidence that would support not trusting him, just “a feeling.” As much as she could be considered still depressed and perhaps even paranoid, that combined with low energy gave cause to think these were not si

● Often children are taken when their poverty is confused with neglect only to face actual abuse in foster care. But rarely children really do face horrific abuse in their own homes. This story from The Press-Enterprise in Riverside describes a case in California in which that happened – and then the children faced horrific abuse in a foster home overseen by a private agency. ● I mention the item above because right now, California’s private foster care agencies are rushing to make sure it never

She thought her partner was a nar-cissist. Whatever he asked, she complied. She was afraid to ask to have her own needs met. He didn’t anticipate her needs. As a result, her needs weren’t met. She grew up in a home where her dad ruled the roost and everyone served him. If anyone resisted his demands, he would erupt. Others would walk on eggshells around him.

Your child comes home… cranky. There can be so many reasons. The challenge is to not get caught up with their mood or behavior. Nor do you have to get to the bottom of it quickly. More to the point, providing a safe space, a capacity to just absorb their mood free of judgement or cure can ease your way to a better outcome. Next comes the empathy, again no solution or critical feedback.

I joined the Midori Traveler’s Notebook (TN) club this past Summer. I missed the big blogging heyday about them around 2012 to 2015 when the Internet seem to explode over this nifty little notebook system, but I was all about digital back then. I loved my iPhone and didn’t feel a need to go analog. Recently, though, I noticed some artists doing inspiring things in their TNs, and I thought this could be the kick in the pants I needed to fit sketching back into my life.
