I meant to post this a while ago. I started writing it a month ago, as you
see by the date. I've been a little busy.

I have been having great fun with my patient! I have been working with Groundenwip and Flunderboot, who have charge of my patient's parents. They were very successful in making the parents turn against each other and fight viciously. And, after a while, they had the parents completely disregard their children's feelings and become consumed with taking vengeance on one another, particularly the father. He would go behind the mother's back and tell his children that their mother is unbalanced and selfish. This was wonderful for my patient in particular because she was learning to drive a car at the time. She was stuck in a confined space with this man day after day as he complained about his life. Oh, the fun I had putting images of suicide and self-mutilation in her mind! But, sadly, she fears the Enemy too much to act on thoughts of suicide. I was able to drive her to some very mild self-mutilation twice, but that is all.
But the best progress I have had with my patient concerning her parents is causing her to be cold towards them. I am disappointed to say that she is not doing this to take revenge on or punish her parents, but because she just does not want any contact with them at all. I have been able to make her nauseous every time her father walks into the room for fear that he may speak to her. I have been able to make her disregard her parents' feelings, and Groundenwip and Flunderboot have been able to cause her parents to disregard their childrens' feelings and plague them with guilt every time they wish to be apart. My patient's sister, a patient of Keelsnap, spends most of her time out with friends and spends very few nights in her own bed, instead taking refuge from her parents at friends' houses. My patient, on the other hand, craves to be alone. She not only wants to be apart from her parents, who are always around, but she wants to be apart from everyone else as well. Therefore, she cannot take refuge at a friend's house. Bitterness can always be helpful in bringing patients to our side.
But the best fun I have had with my patient has not lead to any progress, I am sad to say. Groundenwip and Flunderboot were finally able to drive the parents to divorce. This is usually very hard on children, but my patient was rather relieved. I could not stand for this, of course, so I had Groundenwip and Flunderboot cause their patients to switch back and forth from being uncharacteristically affectionate towards each other to being their old, vindictive selves. This drove my patient to the brink of insanity. Is it not strange how the human mind work? It is extremely amusing. At one point, I had my patient in a fit, talking to herself and going into spasms. I was drunk with pleasure! But, predictably, this did nothing more than cause her to question her sanity.
