My Own Worst Enemy?

[MakersDozn]

Thanks for explaining. Hard to relax right now. We have a b*tch of a headache, and we know it's because Charity is upset right now but will not come out and deal with it. She's been having bad dreams again and has unearthed more anger because of it. She doesn't know how to deal with the feelings.

At least I myself am making progress in that I'm able to step back from her problems and not let her feelings leak onto me. It's not that I don't care. It's that Charity needs to solve her own problems. And you know how I feel about minors taking on responsibilities that belong to the bigs.

We need to make dinner now. I'd really like to take some Tylenol for the headache, but Allegra thinks that if we numb the pain, we'll prevent Charity from dealing with the cause of it. F*ck that. I'm not going to perpetuate physical pain just to help Charity.

The pain is moving down to the right side of our neck. If we still have a headache by the time we finish making dinner, I'm taking the Tylenol, no matter what Allegra says.
