Counseling?
It's now been ten days since the accident, making it a Tuesday evening. I called Ellen again today at lunch and left another long message. Lisa gave me trouble about calling Ellen so much, but Jason stuck up for me and I had decided to call anyway. When I got home after school today, my mother told me that the social worker at the hospital had suggested our family get some counseling. My dad heard this and was against it immediately. My mother, on the other hand, was completely for the idea. I was stuck in the middle. Not knowing what to say, I told my mom I didn't care too much what I did, and then I went into our family room to watch TV. As I was watching an old rerun of some sitcom I can never seem to remember the name of, my cell phone rang. It was Ellen! This was the first time I talked to her since that night. We talked for a few minutes before Ellen fell asleep while still on the phone. Even though it was only a few minutes, I felt so much better having talked to someone who knew what I was going through.
