265: Theresa A. revisits

1 hour 2 minutes

🔸 The shit kicker and- Oh, a baby on my knee!

*Part shares a song: https://youtu.be/SI8RmHw1QpY

🔹 Parts:

P: 27yo, leather jacket, tough. If not tough, people will run all over you. “I will let you see he baby if you believe in her”. Polarized, in opposition to

P: Acquiesce (see last call), be timid

E?: The wimp, sneaky. We didn’t get a good look. Went from being blended to hiding behind P1.

P: The non-believer. “We’re making up characters…”

E: The baby/tot. Wants snuggly cozies. Doesn’t have a voice.

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:

I warned Theresa before call that I was on 3.5 hrs sleep.

I take full responsibility for derailing us with unclear questions about the non-believer. I was relieved when she said "just need to be quiet"; that’s what I planned to suggest when I said “I could list some options…”

I would have cautioned against meeting protector and baby at once like that if I didn’t know/trust her work and system to the degree that I do. I trust we can navigate whatever comes up. I was crying more than usual at the realness of this baby, could you tell?
