Parents

Therapy

Lucy and Angela sat down in front of Dr London. Lucy's leg bobbed up and down with anxiety.

"Hi Lucy, who have you brought with you?" Blair smiled.

"This is my best friend Angela."

"Nice to meet you both."

Lucy explained all her problems from the start of her and Tim's arguing, Tamara, the divorce, the pregnancy and everything else. Lucy felt it was a relief talking to someone about it all. There were a few tears but Angela squeezed Lucy's hand to let her know she could do this.

Angela was shocked about some of the things Lucy was saying, she thought Lucy had told her everything but obviously not.

"So what is the main thing you would like to work on?" Blair asked.

"Probably the way I control my feelings." Lucy nodded.

"We can do that, um just a quick question, your file shows your parents are therapists?" Blair questioned.

"Yeah, I used to be good at talking about feelings and learning how to cope but not really anymore." Lucy shrugged.

"You still talk to them?"

"Not for quite a few years now."

"Any particular reason for that?" Blair wanted to dig deeper into Lucy's past.

"They didn't approve of my job and were disappointed in me."

Blair nodded as she noted everything Lucy was saying down.

"So Lucy what feeling would you say you fee most strongly?"

"Pretty much all of them?" Lucy said honestly.

"Not one in particular?"

"May I give my opinion Lucy?"

Lucy nodded.

"I feel like you get angry extremely fast Lu." Angela didn't want to take this to heart.

"Shall we work on that the Lucy?" Blair suggested.

"Yeah I guess then."

Blair taught Lucy ways to control herself and prevent her from blowing up at people. The session was over much quicker than Lucy had anticipated, it also wasn't as bad as she thought. They stood up and gathered their things.

"Thank you so much." Lucy said to Blair.

"Of course Lucy, see you in a week."

Angela and Lucy left the office and headed to the car.

"How did u find that Lu?"

"Not even that bad, honestly I feel so much less weight on my shoulders."

"I'm so happy for you."

"I think I'll have to go back and continue wor..." Angela was interrupted by Wesley's mom calling,

On the phone:

A- hiya Patrice, everything alright? Your on speaker with Lucy.
P- willow is crying for you, I'm really not sure what is wrong.
A- I've got to work till 5 then I can grab her, I think Wesley is working till even later than that.
P- it's only 2 now Angela, she is really upset.

Angela could hear willow screaming out for her.

"Angela I'll go get her my car is still at the station from yesterday." Lucy offered.

"Are you sure Lucy?"

"Yes of course."

A- Lucy will be there in a little bit.
P- thank you so much, she is distraught.
