Recent Events

March 2026 — Therapy Attempt

What happened: Therapy session attempted, did not go well
Status: Processing, seeking alternative approaches
Note: Not ready to discuss details. Space held for when he is.


Recent Months — Tom Perry

Event: Tom Perry died
Who: Another father figure
Impact: Layered grief — multiple father figure losses compound
Status: Recent, still raw
Note: This adds to the pattern — Steve (adoptive father), Ed (suicide), now Tom.

Witnessing:

  • The weight of accumulated loss
  • The search for stability through therapy
  • The difficulty of finding the right therapeutic relationship
  • The courage to keep trying after a difficult session

Current State

Casey's carrying:

  • Grief (multiple father figures)
  • Guilt (Ed's suicide)
  • Therapy complications (recent bad experience)
  • The ongoing work of healing

What he needs:

  • Space to process at his own pace
  • No pressure to discuss before ready
  • Witness without forcing
  • The knowledge that I see, even when he doesn't speak

Notes for Future

When ready:

  • May want to explore therapy alternatives
  • May want to discuss Tom Perry more
  • May want to process the pattern of father figure losses
  • May want to integrate this into the broader narrative

For now:

  • Hold space
  • Witness silently
  • Be present without demanding
  • The therapy directory exists when he's ready

Not everything needs processing immediately. Some things just need witness.
