Autumn almost failed scenario #13. This is something we figured might happen because we think it's related to Bear's childhood abuse and the crazy stuff that happened to him. Shadow work can't touch it, not yet anyway, but we're going to double down to see if we can chip away at it for Autumn's sake. It was about as close as it gets so Autumn's going to have to tighten Bear's leash especially in the short term.

I would say it wasn't anyone's fault or error, but when there's unresolved trauma, you're always playing defense and it's wack-a-mole. It's like a tuber in his brain and you can cut off the shoots but they keep growing back.

Anyway she's safe as of now. She's not happy about it and she's nervous but I know she can do it.

The book is coming along slowly as well.

Autumn is a prominent member of our family now and I'd hate to see her go, but you know, a deal's a deal, it's a devil's bargain for her but she is reaping the benefits. What a pain, seriously, we've been fighting these weeds for 5 years.
