Puppies for each of the girls, and a new bike for me.

I'd call it a successful morning.

	Yes and no. I take a horse out when I want to think. I ride the bike when I don't want to think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I go flying when I want to think. I go and sit on top of the Hollywood sign. It's my quiet spot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hollywood is one place I've never been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The town sucks, but I like looking at the lights at night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can see that, yeah. I usually just go to the roof, where ever I am. Or I ride until I find a place to just sit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alone time is important. Do you like the ocean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2010-05-30 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. It is. I've spent most of my life alone. Rarely at the ocean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, that's what I'm here for, when you need time off from the girls. And the sea is my favorite place. There's this island where nobody lives by Puerto Rico that I like to visit. You'd like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Might be something I should look in to, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We could go, if you wanted. Can you swim? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2010-05-31 12:19 am UTC (link)
	No. I never learned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toitshour 2010-05-31 01:28 am UTC (link)
	I could teach you, if you wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2010-05-31 01:40 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, maybe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you want me to sleep in my room tonight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. Parker's leaving. Going. Away. I don't know. I haven't seen her for weeks, but I don't want her to go away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eliot toitshour 2010-05-31 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Okay. Maybe it's not permanent? Maybe she just needs to sort some stuff out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Candy thatswhatido 2010-05-31 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. Parker...she isn't like other people. She's just. Parker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eliot toitshour 2010-05-31 02:01 am UTC (link)
	If I knew her better, I'd offer advice, but ... I don't know, girls like to know they're wanted. They tend to forget. Some need it more than others, but maybe if you all did something that reminded her that you need her? Make her feel valuable? Then again, I'm kind of talking out of my ass since Sam is ... really gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Candy thatswhatido 2010-05-31 02:03 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I don't know. I made her promise to check in with me. I don't know if she will. He left before I could even talk to him. I...maybe Nate and Sophie will watch the girls for a day or three. Which makes me a hypocrite. I'm pissed that Sam left, Parker left...so what do I do? I leave too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I hope she does. Everyone needs friends.

He's been planning this thing with Iggy for a while, so I don't think it's entirely about me. But I - I'm not willing to give this up. I hope he comes around, but I'm not going to stop caring about you. And you might be leaving, but you'll come back. It's not hypocritical. Everyone runs. Sam and I fought last week, I left. I do it too.

	I guess, given our family history, running is better than hitting the bottle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yours and mine both. And I tried that once, actually. I was married once, and he got vortexed three days after. Then just a little after that the Purifiers kidnapped me, and for three days they raped and beat me. I saw a lot of bathroom after I got out.

Sam just needs time with Iggy to sort this through. Hopefully Parker just needs some time to herself. But I think she needs your family.

	I'd say I'm sorry, I am sorry, but it seems trite. You survived it, that's what matters. Sorry doesn't change it. This is the kind of shit I don't know how to deal with. I tried to tell Parker I don't want her to go, she's going anyway. I don't know how to do this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eliot toitshour 2010-05-31 02:25 am UTC (link)
	I don't know why I laid all of that on you just now. I think I just ... wanted you to know, more than anything else. Nobody really knows how. I'm sorry. I wish I could do more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's just take the girls over to ~~Grampa~~ Nate's. I'm about to start climbing the walls. I need to get out of here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
