I'm not saying that you shouldn't reflect on it, if you want to, I'm saying that you shouldn't do so in a way that makes you feel worse, because that neither changes what happened nor serves any purpose.
I'll stay close to him, so I will. As I always have. I know him better than any other, I'll know any proper fakery in an instant. I need him to recover, there's so much as depends on him and he doesn't get to be...no, I know it's not his fault, say true. But I'll not have him end up like your parents not when I see how they treated you.
Which means it's not true. It's not, then. Mayhap it wouldn't be. You've got Shaun and while that won't lead you to any terrible difficult decisions, it's still responsibility.
That's curious, having a person to tell you how your own mind works. You'd know that better than he would, to be sure. But you're right, that's not what clerics do at all. There's more than one way of making better. The other? It's not like devil-grass either, then, which will take a man's mind off his trouble for a time, all well and good, until the addiction's such that trying to get hold of more devil-grass is the only trouble that's left to him, and that's a sorry sort of life.
I suppose the truth of it is that there's nothing alike to a shrink in Mid-World and comparisons don't work, it's specific to your world.
