Therapy

A half hour on the phone, giving my mother time to talk is a fairly normal part of every day for me. Sometimes I think I missed my true calling in life--I could be getting paid for doing this kind of thing. Still, it's a little strange to be the married one, giving my mother dating advice. Not that this role-reversal is anything new, but sometimes it really hits me. What on earth would it be like if I had parents like me, willing to listen, and try not to judge? (I'm not trying to knock on my mom here, but heaven forbid she should stumble upon my blog!) My conclusion for right now is that I would probably be a whole lot more sane, but I doubt I'd be a writer. That's quite a trade-off really. I'm not sure what I'd pick.
