Day 21 Williams/Bradfort Families Therapy

Emelie walked in the meeting room and smiled as she watched her sister watering there sunflowers. The flowers were taller now and about to bloom. Bella was listening to a Taylor Swift CD and singing along to "You Belong With Me". Emelie knew it was long overdue to bring out the three issues folder, Dad's hospital stay had put it off a little longer than she had wanted. Now she felt the last person to bring the subject up, still she also knew they mostly understood, unlike how the Bradforts would react to her, they knew and understood her in a way the Bradforts just plain refused to even try to. So, she started with Aiden's 3 issues. She didn't need to read them but she did. Number one, he supported Emelie living with Mom and Dad, number 2 Winnie couldn't join in meetings, she had her own family crisis to deal with as well. Number 3 Bella was still too naive when it came to therapy, to understand fully what they all went through each day. We will only work through one person's issues per meeting, due to lack of time. Emelie said. So, we will vote using a ballot system of yeah or ne. Emelie passed out the slips of paper containing all three of Aiden's issues, with little boxes they were to check for yeah or ne. When they had all voted she collected them in a top hat of Grandpa's. She pulled from the hat the six pieces of paper, then talied up the scores. Which came to five votes of yeah, to Emelie being supported living back at home again. Then 6 votes of yeah, that Winnie should should deal with her family issues and not worry about Aidens much. Then 5 votes of yeah, Bella did not fully understand all of there therapy issues, since she was so new to it all still. Emelie says,"So, then Aiden take with you how your family has voted, and feel secure in your ways of dealing with these issues from here on. They ended the meeting listening to Garth Brooks, "Friends In Low Places". End of Day 21
