"Rodney today i want you to invite your mother out for drinks" Dr. Rina said
"Drinks?"
"Breakfast, dinner, brunch, anything but try to isolate her so you too could talk."
"Why?"
"Because as far as I've seen working with you, from where we started to know you are doing better. You can talk about your mom with out shutting down, your more comfortable saying things and your less biased than you once were. Now since you can't address your father yet i think you should address your mother on your feelings with this situation and where you will stand with her from now on. Now i need you to do most of the talking and not let any of it go to far in your head. Example being not letting her make you too angry or get you to go back to any bad habits, call me if anything"
"Why should i even try her?"
"It's your next step, your learning to control your feelings, your becoming independent. Your not drinking any more. I think your ready to tell her your feelings."
"What feelings?"
"You told me that it hurt when she started blocking you out, how what your remembering makes you feel like you were right about not fitting into her fantasy life, things like that"
"I'm not comfortable around her"
"You have to break that soon. Rodney your one of my favorite clients, your so sweet and even tho your a little mean sometimes you got a big heart. Just take my advice."
"Okay" i said
"See you soon"
I nodded and left the place and went to my grandmas house
When i got there i was gonna tell her about my therapy
I opened the door "maaaaaaa" i yelled
"Boy stop yelling in my house" she said
I laughed "hey"
"Hi" she said
"I missed youuuuu"
"Yea i know" she said laughing "how you been since the last time i seen you?"
"Good"
The door opened and closed and i heard my mom
"Momma i did the store run here's your groceries" my mom said walking past me and putting the things down
"Thank you, you don't see your son?"
My grandma doesn't know i moved out or that we ain talking she knows I'm in therapy tho and i got shot and i ain been sleeping."
"I see him"
She groaned "please don't tell me you mad cause he ain wash dishes again girl it's more serious shit to worry about"
"Ma leave me alone" she said
I sat down in the living room
My phone rang
"Yo?" I said
"Somebody just left sun here for you"
"What is it?"
"A bullet"
"Just a bullet?"
"Ionk man you gotta see it it's more stuff in there but ion wanna open your shit"
"Okay, imma be there just put it somewhere" i told the runner
"Alright bye"
He hung up and my grandma came
"When was the last time you talked to her?"
