🔸 "Reveling in her fury", an unburdening. Seems we have (enough) trust from the sharp thinker, the cynic, the fear.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

• Exile: "I can't do it". Hopeless, resigned, aching, flat.
• Age 7-8
• "Hard to grow up in my family. Had to stop caring, feeling, expecting."

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
Didn't have the explicit permission from all protectors in this convo, but we had touched base with each of them repeatedly throughout others.

Re: Screaming at parents, I had my concerns that this could be re-living instead of re-doing, but Justine confirmed it felt right.

Witnessing mom's pain, that's *external* family systems. Yes, only do what's right for this exile and this relationship.
