Title Edited Text

Anna came through the door with a fresh version of the Jessica problem. The two girls had built a shelter together at playtime — two boxes tall, big enough to be something — and then Jessica started blocking her from coming in. Sometimes she spread her arms in a star pose at the entrance. Anna stood there telling us about it, not crying, but clearly bothered. We talked it through with her. We told her that Jessica might be doing it for attention, to feel powerful, and that the worst thing she could do was show upset. If she walked away and did something else, Jessica wouldn't get the reaction she wanted. Easy to say, hard for a kid to do, but Anna seemed to hear it.

Later, Suzana and I got into Anna's symptoms again. She'd had another episode of food feeling stuck, plus vomiting, and there was a time she regurgitated strawberries. We'd been carrying the possible achalasia worry for days now. We drafted a careful update for the hospital consultant — what happened, when, what it looked like — and sent it off. It felt like something, at least. A concrete step in the middle of a whole lot of waiting. Between messages about Anna's swallowing, we also covered her bedtime struggles and her trouble with Jessica, and the idea of raising the Jessica thing with Amalia. And dinner. Suzana was going to cook chicken thighs and rice for Olivia's parents, so I said I'd eat out.

The evening got swallowed by the thread with Deimantė. 413 messages. That's not a conversation, it's a relationship at full volume. Photos of the new BMW, jealousy from whoever saw them, the number plate needing a wash, setting up the payment, going over the service history and the tyre warning. Underneath all that, the usual money panic: clients Laura and Anastasija paying late, the credit card bill, the rent, her plan to finish cleaning at Scarlette's before the 29th. Plus her aches and allergy symptoms. I had my own laryngitis and headache sitting underneath the whole day, but the messages didn't stop for that.

John Taylor came through shorter — 11 messages. He wanted his car back. I asked about the Hoover. There was a weird little exchange: 'Rest in Pieces,' I said, and he replied 'Dead,' and then 'Ah.' I don't know if that's about a person or a hoover or something else entirely. I told him I'd been tracking a low-flying aircraft from RAF Topcliffe, via Garforth, down to Sheffield Northern General and back to North Yorkshire. He just said 'Ah.' In the middle of all that, Pedro Ferreira's single message appeared and vanished without any trace of substance. I still have no idea what he wanted. By the end of the day, my throat was raw and my head was pounding, but the hospital email had gone out, Anna's shelter story had been coached, and Deimantė's BMW was one step closer to being paid for. That's the shape of it.

Transcript Conversation

Helping Anna cope with Jessica's exclusionary behavior

Anna tells her family about a recurring problem with a girl named Jessica, who excludes her from a play shelter they built together and says hurtful things. The adults listen and help Anna understand that Jessica may be seeking attention and power by making others upset. They advise Anna not to show her upset, to walk away and do something else, and to avoid giving Jessica the reaction she wants. Anna relates this to the idea that Jessica wants to be like her and be 'twins,' but also wants to control her. The conversation is supportive and gives Anna a strategy to handle the situation.
