Yesterday was a really difficult day for John and I. Last night I promised Athen I would do better. He asked that I not "fight with Dad."
Well, we fought today...I think I was more emotionally torn up about the fact that I disappointed Athen than about the fight. Weepy, I asked him if he was mad at me. He said, "No, but I told you not to fight with Dad." I said, "Are you disappointed? Angry? Scared?" He said, "No, I'm happy."
I said, "You are? What does happy mean?"
Athen said, "Happy means I'm not scared."
