I need some help - I asked her to leave me alone before, and she keeps butting into my journal and making pissy comments about how I'm not allowed to be mad anymore, and I'm trying -really- really hard not to go down and throw things at her and I just put my fist through my door (I'm fixing it.) because she did it AGAIN.

Is there -anything- you guys can do? Tell her to leave me the hell alone? I really am so not cool with her following me around on the journals and talking about how my anger isn't appropriate or whatever else crap she's spewing. I just want her to go away and leave me alone and I don't know how to FIX this. I can deal with seeing her around, because I can walk away before she can say anything or before I get too pissed off to deal with it. I've already got about nine hundred things I'm pissed off about, like Jay and Garrison and Dani and Mr. Wisdom, I don't need her poking me to say I'm an uncontrollable animal or some crap.

I GET that she doesn't think I'm human. Believe me, I totally get it, but I am getting really tired of her saying so all the time, and I don't want this crap dragged out every single time I post and she keeps DOING IT.

Kyle:

I apologize for my delay in response, I was sometime distracted helping out at the clinic this weekend. David, I understand your schedule is more than a bit hectic this week; please don't feel rushed to respond.

As for Laurie. I am sure there is much I have missed on the journals, but I think I've picked up the basics. I agree that the situation should be addressed as it has caused considerable difficulties for both the two of you and others in the mansion as well.

I am less willing to simply speak with Laurie on her own and request that she cease contact with you. I wouldn't do that for any of the younger clients that I work with, let alone two young adults. I don't wish to speak for David, but I suspect he may have a similar opinion.

However, I am willing to serve as a mediator if the two of you wish to iron this out. That does not mean in any way that I expect you to 'hug and make up'--you are young adults, and you are not required to be best friends. You are expected to treat each other with respect and professionalism, however, and there definitely seem to be some stumbling blocks in getting to that point.

I think there has been some miscommunication. Kyle, I do not believe that Laurie regards you as inhuman. I do believe she has misconceptions about your powers and has made certain judgments and opinions based on those misconceptions. I think it is also very clear that both of you are operating under different assumptions of how individuals deal with conflict and anger.

If you are willing, we can set a meeting for the three of us--four if David is wanting and able to attend--and try to set things straight. I would set very clear ground rules that nothing discussed during the meeting is to be shared with anyone else, and that both of you decide prior to the meeting what the stated goal is to be. If you wish the goal to be a cordial professional relationship, than that is the goal. If you wish the goal to be a professional relationship, perhaps casual acquaintances, that's the goal. And if you wish to try to start a tentative friendship, we can also work towards that.

Let me know what you think, Kyle.

Take care,
Leo Samson
