Message: John, I think I might know that girl who was struck in the head by a laptop during a car crash. When you were reading me the story, I remember hearing that she was a year younger than me. Now I’m not sure if this would be the same person, but I said to my mom two days ago (on Thursday) after you left that I remember a girl in my class in grade three who’s name was Heather Storey. We were going to school at Betty Huff Elementary in Whalley at the time when I was in grade three. Brendan didn’t come because I had a horrible sleep on the night before yesterday. And it didn’t go down without a fight, mom wasn’t flexible at first about rescheduling. I told you many times that she’s never flexible when I want to reschedule something because I don’t feel up to it. I said to her yesterday morning quote “I know that you aren’t going to be flexible after I say this to you, but I think that it might be a smart idea to reschedule with Brendan.” She then said “okay” and she’d phone him. And then I said to her “okay.” After I said “okay,” I tried to make sure that it was clear to her to take me seriously about this and I said to her that I didn’t want to have a fight this time. A couple hours later, I asked her if she called Brendan yet and she said “let’s get it over with.” I then told her to call him and then she back talked to me and said “no.” You will not say anything tomorrow about me phoning to change my own session with Brendan just like you suggested that the right thing might’ve been for me to have phoned and changed my dentist appointment after I went over everything with my mom twice and made it clear to her exactly how I wanted it to be done. For all I know, my mom might’ve grabbed the phone from me if I tried myself to call about rescheduling with Brendan just like in these two instances I wrote about in previous E-mails In which my mom and dad grabbed the phone from me when I tried to call Carol: • From the E-mail I sent you on Sunday Feb.24,2008: > I didn’t have any plans to do anything angry that one evening a few months ago when my parents kept > blocking the front door so that I couldn’t leave, this was my only other option because my parents kept > grabbing the phone from me when I was so desperate for Carol to come get me so that I could be > safe overnight... • It should be obvious that the above point was only written a few months after we had the big altercation around Christmas 2007 which was four months after Carol had stopped working with me. There was another time earlier that same year in March of 2007 when I got angry and my parents grabbed the phone from me when I tried to call Carol who said that I could phone her anytime I got angry (and as long as she was still my worker at the time). It wasn’t too long after I first got angry on that day when I tried to call her. Now back in the present. If I did manage to phone on my own and cancel Brendan, my mom would’ve probably been hesitant with me for the rest of the day and reluctant to do things for me. I wanted to get this over with as much as she did and I was disappointed myself that I didn’t want to see Brendan yesterday. -Neil
