### Human: ##h. Yeah.### Assistant: She's listened, but she hasn't heard what we're trying to say. I guess that's a better way of explaining that's how her brain works. I think that's, I guess, a better way of saying it. It's the fact that she's heard. So she's listened, but she hasn't heard. At the moment, the independence is one of my biggest things. At the moment is the fact that-- so we can see Dad when there's no allocated times to see Mom and Dad because--### Human: But it sounds like--### Assistant: I guess if we want to get away from Mom, if we've had a fight, we can go, "Oh," and we can walk down to Dad's, and we won't get in trouble for it because we don't have allocated times. But if we're angry at Mom or angry at Dad, we can't go anywhere because that's allocated times. But I know if we were angry at Dad and we wanted to go back to Mom's, he'd obviously, "Yeah," but he'd want us to think about it and see if we wanted to stay there, or he goes, "All right. If you want to go back, yo### Human: ### Assistant:

If you want to go back, yo### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant:


### Human: And that does make it a little tricky at the moment because there is the courts involved. Sort of this is the way it looks like.### Assistant: And that's the thing that I want to get rid of, is the courts, because that's what Mom's falling back on, and that's her only way of-- what's the word?### Human: Resolving it, yes?### Assistant: Resolving it. That's it.### Human: So maybe it's--### Assistant: That's her only way of resolving it at the moment.


### Human: Resolving it, yes?### Assistant: Resolving it. That's it.### Human: So maybe it's--### Assistant: That's her only way of resolving it at the moment.### Human: Maybe while it is in place, because currently it is, and we can't change that at the moment, but it is those little things that maybe you can do to be more independent. And if you do have the session on Thursday, voicing, "Mom, what can I do to be more independent?" Because that's important.### Assistant: And I did say-- because we went and saw this family court girl - I can't exactly remember what her thing was - about the fact that I have said if I was angry at a parent-- I asked if she could put something in place where I could go to the other--

Yeah.### Assistant: --parent's house. So if I was angry at Mom, I could go to Dad's. And if I was angry at Dad, I could go to Mom's. That sort of thing. And she said that she'd look into it. Whether or not that's come through or not, but they'd get equal days. So if I spent two or three days at Dad's, Mom would get those two days back. If I spent two or three days at Mom's because of Dad, he'd get those two days back. So it's sort of the same time, but I had that freedom. That's what I wanted. Whether or not th

Whether or not th### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant:


### Human: That sounds like something to follow up.### Assistant: Yeah. I've obviously got to speak to her, because I think Dad knows her a bit more, and Mom doesn't like to speak about that sort of stuff with us, even though it has stuff to do with us. I'll speak to Dad about it and see whether or not that has been considered or not --- damn it. I was going to say something again.### Human: Yeah. I'm just wary of the time because I think your mom's going to go, "Where are you?" because we've been here for-- oh, it's an hour and a half now.### Assistant: Doesn't matter.### Human: Time goes quickly. I'll turn this off.### Assistant: Step two. Eighth of the ninth RV. so what's today's date? How are you since last week?


### Human: Yeah. I'm just wary of the time because I think your mom's going to go, "Where are you?" because we've been here for-- oh, it's an hour and a half now.### Assistant: Doesn't matter.### Human: Time goes quickly. I'll turn this off.### Assistant: Step two. Eighth of the ninth RV. so what's today's date? How are you since last week?### Human: Good.### Assistant: Good. What's happened now till then?


### Human: Time goes quickly. I'll turn this off.### Assistant: Step two. Eighth of the ninth RV. so what's today's date? How are you since last week?### Human: Good.### Assistant: Good. What's happened now till then?### Human: Not a lot. Just spent the weekend with dad.### Assistant: Yep. Which week are we on?


### Human: Step two. Eighth of the ninth RV. so what's today's date? How are you since last week?### Assistant: Good.### Human: Good. What's happened now till then?### Assistant: Not a lot. Just spent the weekend with dad.### Human: Yep. Which week are we on?### Assistant: min.

### Human: Yep. Which week are we on?### Assistant: min.### Human: Where are we?### Assistant: It should be the first week because you got--### Human: It's week two now.### Assistant: Week two because of Monday, Tuesday. So the morning with dad. And then, yeah, you got Wednesday to Sunday.


### Human: Where are we?### Assistant: It should be the first week because you got--### Human: It's week two now.### Assistant: Week two because of Monday, Tuesday. So the morning with dad. And then, yeah, you got Wednesday to Sunday.### Human: So did Dad drop you off today?### Assistant: Mom did.


### Human: It's week two now.### Assistant: Week two because of Monday, Tuesday. So the morning with dad. And then, yeah, you got Wednesday to Sunday.### Human: So did Dad drop you off today?### Assistant: Mom did.### Human: Mom did.### Assistant: Because Dad went to work at around about 6:30, so.


### Human: So did Dad drop you off today?### Assistant: Mom did.### Human: Mom did.### Assistant: Because Dad went to work at around about 6:30, so.### Human: That would make it very hard to get here. I wouldn't want you waiting here at 5 o'clock in the morning.### Assistant: Yeah. So yeah, not a lot happening. Football's finished, now.


### Human: Mom did.### Assistant: Because Dad went to work at around about 6:30, so.### Human: That would make it very hard to get here. I wouldn't want you waiting here at 5 o'clock in the morning.### Assistant: Yeah. So yeah, not a lot happening. Football's finished, now.### Human: Yep, because you had your last, is it, game or last training session?### Assistant: We had finals.


### Human: That would make it very hard to get here. I wouldn't want you waiting here at 5 o'clock in the morning.### Assistant: Yeah. So yeah, not a lot happening. Football's finished, now.### Human: Yep, because you had your last, is it, game or last training session?### Assistant: We had finals.### Human: Finals.### Assistant: So we had the semi-final, and we ended up going out the first round of finals. So the other teams we play are, and then grand final. So unfortunately, we missed out on that. So football is over. So Sundays we've got nothing. On Wednesdays and Fridays after school there's nothing at all happening.

Considering the fact that it was everyday looking forward to going to football training on a Wednesday and a Friday. Having something to do. I guess, I'm just going to have to, I don't know, figure out if I go for a run during that time or--

### Human: What's that like? That'll be a big change from--### Assistant: Yeah. Considering the fact that it was everyday looking forward to going to football training on a Wednesday and a Friday. Having something to do. I guess, I'm just going to have to, I don't know, figure out if I go for a run during that time or--### Human: That's a good idea.### Assistant: --do something so I'm not just sitting around.### Human: Because you're not someone that likes to sit around, are you?### Assistant: No.


### Human: That's a good idea.### Assistant: --do something so I'm not just sitting around.### Human: Because you're not someone that likes to sit around, are you?### Assistant: No.### Human: No.### Assistant: And especially with the fact that he is now going to start coming back in.


### Human: Because you're not someone that likes to sit around, are you?### Assistant: No.### Human: No.### Assistant: And especially with the fact that he is now going to start coming back in.### Human: Yep. How does that look like?### Assistant: I've still got this week and next week, I think, until the full preseason ends.


### Human: No.### Assistant: And especially with the fact that he is now going to start coming back in.### Human: Yep. How does that look like?### Assistant: I've still got this week and next week, I think, until the full preseason ends.### Human: Yep. maybe next week. Yep.### Assistant: Because they like to wait until every other sort of stuff goes. I think they may wait maybe three weeks, at least. Because I think IDFL, which is what most of the kids are from, they start a bit later than us start now, and so that you're a week behind or something like that. I'm not sure. So yeah. So I'm not 100% sure about that. But there's still, I think, another three weeks or four weeks, something like that, just before.


### Human: Yep. How does that look like?### Assistant: I've still got this week and next week, I think, until the full preseason ends.### Human: Yep. maybe next week. Yep.### Assistant: Because they like to wait until every other sort of stuff goes. I think they may wait maybe three weeks, at least.

So I'm not 100% sure about that. But there's still, I think, another three weeks or four weeks, something like that, just before.### Human: And then, do you trial out for me? You were saying--### Assistant: No. I'm not really trying out. It's whether or not you get invited back down. See, if you don't get invited back down this time, I think dad said something about the fact that you get invited down for the start of the six things, and, if they think that you're good enough to come back, that sort of thing. Because just got to wait and see, I guess. So at the moment, don't really know. And they'll probably send out a letter saying that we want you back. Because I would have already ma


### Human: Yep. maybe next week. Yep.### Assistant: Because they like to wait until every other sort of stuff goes. I think they may wait maybe three weeks, at least.

Because I would have already ma### Human: ### Assistant: And is that for the VFL or the AFL from the--?### Human: So this is just through TAC.### Assistant: TAC. Yep.


### Human: So wait and see kind of-- yeah.### Assistant: I think that's all. Yeah, but you've got to, basically, you just got to hope the fact that they've notice that you're pretty good or if they they think you're pretty good, you just got to hope that they invite you down. That's what you just have to wait and see. And it gets a bit-- when you get into 17s and 18s, that's when they start to then make a team, and that's it. Sometimes you can be invited down, but you can't be invited down after the age of 17 or 18. So when you hit 18,### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant:


### Human: And is that for the VFL or the AFL from the--?### Assistant: So this is just through TAC.### Human: TAC. Yep.### Assistant: And when you get to 18, you have the chance to play TAC cup or--### Human: Yep. And that's the one in March.### Assistant: Yeah.


### Human: TAC. Yep.### Assistant: And when you get to 18, you have the chance to play TAC cup or--### Human: Yep. And that's the one in March.### Assistant: Yeah.### Human: Yep.### Assistant: So it just sort of depends whether or not-- so I know the school got 18 at all. So and that's basically the drop off. So after the start of the 18 squad, they're bringing some people. And they go, "Oh, no. That's it." And then, they'll just drop them off. And then, they'll make a team and leave. And most people that come in on the start of 18 squad normally do the hard work they have to do. Because it's normally the fact that when 18s, they're just getting because they

Yeah. So I know a few friends in, not this year, the year above me.### Human: Yep. So they would be in the 16s. Yep.### Assistant: Age above me, that are in the 16 squad this year and almost going into 17s. So they've been getting close to the-- also getting close to the end of juniors because our club in toronto, they only go up to 17. You can play 18s, but you have to do it in a different club. everybody does 18s as seniors. So whether or not you want to play in 18s, you sort of got to find another club to go to. But I mean, yeah, most of the kids that I play with, now, sort of get to the end, then they've only g

### Human: A year if-- yep.### Assistant: We can play in our own age group, and we can play down if we wanted to. So it just all depends.### Human: And what are you hoping?### Assistant: Well, I'm hoping that we get 17s next year and--### Human: Oh, so you could go up a year next year, is that right?### Assistant: Well, it's basically we stick at the same. So we've done 16s each year.


### Human: And what are you hoping?### Assistant: Well, I'm hoping that we get 17s next year and--### Human: Oh, so you could go up a year next year, is that right?### Assistant: Well, it's basically we stick at the same.

And then, we couldn't remember how old you were because you were going, "Wait, how old am I if I'm in--" yeah.### Assistant: So we did 16s this year. If they get a 17 squad up next year, we're obviously playing that. If we get a 16--


### Human: Oh, so you are 16s this year, not 15s.### Assistant: Yeah.### Human: You did tell me this. I remember, and I was really confused. And then, we couldn't remember how old you were because you were going, "Wait, how old am I if I'm in--" yeah.### Assistant: So we did 16s this year. If they get a 17 squad up next year, we're obviously playing that. If we get a 16--### Human: And that's for sure?### Assistant: Yeah. If they get a 16s at all, I might play down in that. I guess, it just all depends on whether or not they end up getting a 15 squad--


### Human: You did tell me this. I remember, and I was really confused.

I guess, it just all depends on whether or not they end up getting a 15 squad--### Human: Yep. So just to wait and see.### Assistant: --to play. Yeah. A lot of stuff happens coming off the back of-- yeah, a lot of stuff happens coming off the back of all that time away. Some kids, obviously, don't have football like I do, and they don't have NFL squad, that sort of thing. So they sort of go, "All right." I don't know. So it's sort of dependent on whether or not they actually want to play football or not. So some of them drop off. Some of them either just lose interest or forget to resign up. That sort of thing. So it

### Human: And both i and you are keen for next year?### Assistant: Yeah. We always enjoyed doing junior high because it's always with your friends. But when you're sort of-- you just play with them. That sort of thing.### Human: It sounds very different.### Assistant: It sort of gets into-- when you get into the 18s, that's your team, and you get to know them a bit more, how they play. But with so many people, I remember at the start it was 100 and something kids, so trying to learn what foot they kick, how they play, what their names are sort of gets hard.### Human: 100 people. That's a lot of people's names.### Assistant: Yeah. Because there's only 50 kids, now, it's even hard to do that, there. But they do split you up into teams. But yeah, you can, you sort of go-- you got to learn their name, and that's hard enough for me to learn their name, especially to learn a whole bunch of things. So it can get hard at sometimes, especially the fact that I'm not very good with names. And so--


### Human: It sounds very different.### Assistant: It sort of gets into-- when you get into the 18s, that's your team, and you get to know them a bit more, how they play.

So it can get hard at sometimes, especially the fact that I'm not very good with names. And so--### Human: You're more faces than names?### Assistant: Yeah. hard to learn the names, and because I'm not exactly good with names. So it's hard because they expect you to learn everyone's name and make the effort to. But yeah, it gets extremely hard sometimes.


### Human: 100 people. That's a lot of people's names.### Assistant: Yeah. Because there's only 50 kids, now, it's even hard to do that, there. But they do split you up into teams.

Almost need name badges so that you can remember everyone's--### Assistant: Sometimes you just give them numbers. But because their numbers always change depending on weight, that sort of thing. So you may be one number this time, but you may either have lost weight or gained weight, that sort of thing, then they put you in a bigger number or smaller. It all gets--

And the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday could be at mom's running around the block, playing with the dog, something like that.


### Human: Sounds like that'll be all right to do.### Assistant: Yeah.### Human: Yeah.### Assistant: Because dad's got weights and fitness bands that think the Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday could be all that sort of stuff.

So it's hard because their instinct is to stalk you, and then come play by you, and that sort of stuff. So it's hard to play with them because they run off. And then, when you come to run up to them, they're sort of up and bolt, sorry. I don't know. I will figure out something, at least. But dad's--

So then, it's day-on, day-off.### Human: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.### Assistant: Because mom's got eight at the moment, and dad's got five. So one, two, three, four, five, six.


### Human: Kind of, yeah. That sounds pretty reasonable.### Assistant: But what I asked mom if she could do was take off one of her days, so it was Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday it sort of evens out because you've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So then, it's day-on, day-off.### Human: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.### Assistant: Because mom's got eight at the moment, and dad's got five. So one, two, three, four, five, six.### Human: Six. And so it's seven, seven. That sounds pretty reasonable.### Assistant: And it evens it out.


### Human: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.### Assistant: Because mom's got eight at the moment, and dad's got five. So one, two, three, four, five, six.### Human: Six. And so it's seven, seven. That sounds pretty reasonable.### Assistant: And it evens it out.### Human: And what were mom's thoughts?### Assistant: Because then, when you go-- so it's basically this, it's just reversed. So that would be dad, and mom, dad, and mom. That sort of thing.


### Human: Six. And so it's seven, seven. That sounds pretty reasonable.### Assistant: And it evens it out.### Human: And what were mom's thoughts?### Assistant: Because then, when you go-- so it's basically this, it's just reversed. So that would be dad, and mom, dad, and mom. That sort of thing.### Human: So it's swapping.### Assistant: And I saw that as a bit more practical. But mom was saying moving it and keeping her. So it was sort of like I don't exactly know. So we just decided to-- we don't expect mom who was still thinking about it. I'm going to get back to her when we had a decision.


### Human: And what were mom's thoughts?### Assistant: Because then, when you go-- so it's basically this, it's just reversed. So that would be dad, and mom, dad, and mom. That sort of thing.### Human: So it's swapping.### Assistant: And I saw that as a bit more practical. But mom was saying moving it and keeping her. So it was sort of like I don't exactly know. So we just decided to-- we don't expect mom who was still thinking about it. I'm going to get back to her when we had a decision.### Human: Yep. Because I'm hearing for you, you're thinking it'll be easier if your at dad's and you just stay at dad's.### Assistant: Yeah. The thing was the fact that that's because mom can't do it because it's something she put in with court, that's the big part about the fact of losing court. And that's what the whole idea of when you hit 16, you sort of court-- if I decide to not come home that day, mom can't go and say, "no." She can't. She's got to work it out between just mom, and dad, and us.


### Human: So it's swapping.### Assistant: And I saw that as a bit more practical. But mom was saying moving it and keeping her. So it was sort of like I don't exactly know.

She's got to work it out between just mom, and dad, and us.### Human: And is that what I'm hearing you'd really like that you would know.### Assistant: Yeah. Well, that's where it was at the start, and it was a lot easier because we could make up days. And then, it was only the fact that when dad started saying, "All right, look, I want him to stay an extra night," and mom wouldn't let us. And it was sort of like instead of mom going, "Oh, they want an extra night, so why not," that sort of thing. But mom saw that as the fact that dad's trying to take us away from her. So that's when she brought the court in, and it went from just mom and


### Human: Yep. Because I'm hearing for you, you're thinking it'll be easier if your at dad's and you just stay at dad's.### Assistant: Yeah.

So that's when she brought the court in, and it went from just mom and### Human: ### Assistant: So it got quite complicated.


### Human: And is that what I'm hearing you'd really like that you would know.### Assistant: Yeah. Well, that's where it was at the start, and it was a lot easier because we could make up days. And then, it was only the fact that when dad started saying, "All right, look, I want him to stay an extra night," and mom wouldn't let us. And it was sort of like instead of mom going, "Oh, they want an extra night, so why not," that sort of thing. But mom saw that as the fact that dad's trying to take us away from her. So that's when she brought the court in, and it went from just mom and### Human: ### Assistant: So it got quite complicated.### Human: --to be able to go-- I was going to do it week on, week off, as far as what I was going to do. But let's say that I was angry with mom, and I maybe had only see her three days. Then, I'd spend the rest with dad. It was sort of to pick my own days depending on how I feel. And then, I can go to dad's. I'll say, "Look, I'm going to go to dad's tonight. I don't exactly feel like being with you, mom, either." She can't control me in that way. the court say you can't do that. So she'### Assistant:


### Human: All understandable so it's all sorted.### Assistant: But yeah, I didn't see the need to have court in with this because this just makes it harder. And we can't sort of-- and the idea of being 16 was to pick our own-- was to pick my own days. So I could spend a week or a whole fortnight with dad or a whole fortnight with mom. Or I'd see mom once, and then I'd see dad the rest. Or I'd see dad once. So it was sort of pick my days. So depending on my feeling. So if I was getting angry with mom and I'm angry, I'm going to go to dad's witho### Human: ### Assistant: And do you think that works as a good option? I'm angry at mom, and I go somewhere else. Does that help the situation, or--?### Human: Yeah. So sort of to give-- well, sort of to give space. Because there's sometimes when mom's being unbearable, and you're sitting here, "Well, I can't go anywhere else." I don't want to feel like that where I can't go anywhere else.### Assistant: And you feel just all other options out there that if you're with mom you can't talk it through or you have space in your own room? This is just me wondering. Are there other options that you can do? Or is it the only option you feel at the moment is that I need to go to dad's if I'm angry at mom's and vice versa?


### Human: So it got quite complicated.### Assistant: --to be able to go-- I was going to do it week on, week off, as far as what I was going to do. But let's say that I was angry with mom, and I maybe had only see her three days. Then, I'd spend the rest with dad. It was sort of to pick my own days depending on how I feel. And then, I can go to dad's. I'll say, "Look, I'm going to go to dad's tonight. I don't exactly feel like being with you, mom, either." She can't control me in that way. the court say you can't do that. So she'### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant: And is that what's been the hardest, that you don't feel you have a choice in things?


### Human: And do you think that works as a good option? I'm angry at mom, and I go somewhere else. Does that help the situation, or--?### Assistant: Yeah. So sort of to give-- well, sort of to give space. Because there's sometimes when mom's being unbearable, and you're sitting here, "Well, I can't go anywhere else." I don't want to feel like that where I can't go anywhere else.### Human: And you feel just all other options out there that if you're with mom you can't talk it through or you have space in your own room? This is just me wondering. Are there other options that you can do? Or is it the only option you feel at the moment is that I need to go to dad's if I'm angry at mom's and vice versa?### Assistant: Well, it's sort of the fact that I can pick how long I want to stay at mom's house, how long I want to stay at dad's. And because of the fact that it's getting hard to live with mom, it was to sort of have that time away. And the fact that if I didn't want to be at mom's, I could go. Or if I don't want to be at yours tonight, I'm going to go to dad's instead of mom going, "No, you can't." That sort of thing. It's sort of not asking her to go there, it's the fact that I could choose### Human: ### Assistant:


### Human: And you feel just all other options out there that if you're with mom you can't talk it through or you have space in your own room? This is just me wondering. Are there other options that you can do?

Or if I don't want to be at yours tonight, I'm going to go to dad's instead of mom going, "No, you can't." That sort of thing. It's sort of not asking her to go there, it's the fact that I could choose### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant:


### Human: And is that what's been the hardest, that you don't feel you have a choice in things?### Assistant: Yeah. Well, dad's idea of what he said is the fact that he doesn't care if we don't want to go to dad's one day, and court said that we had to be there, he's not going to-- he's not going to fuss, and mom doesn't care. But it's the fact that when it's the other way around, if we don't want to spend a day at mom's, she's like "Oh, no."### Human: So it's like--### Assistant: So she sees is a different--### Human: --a double standard, in a way.### Assistant: Yeah. It's the fact that she's willing to have us-- she goes, "If you don't want to go to your dad's. It's cool. You can stay here." Dad says the same. But when it's the other way around, and we don't want to stay with her or go that day with her, and we want to, yeah, we want to have that--


### Human: So it's like--### Assistant: So she sees is a different--### Human: --a double standard, in a way.### Assistant: Yeah. It's the fact that she's willing to have us-- she goes, "If you don't want to go to your dad's. It's cool. You can stay here." Dad says the same. But when it's the other way around, and we don't want to stay with her or go that day with her, and we want to, yeah, we want to have that--### Human: So that would be really confusing if you can do it one way but not the other way.### Assistant: Yeah.


### Human: --a double standard, in a way.### Assistant: Yeah. It's the fact that she's willing to have us-- she goes, "If you don't want to go to your dad's. It's cool. You can stay here." Dad says the same. But when it's the other way around, and we don't want to stay with her or go that day with her, and we want to, yeah, we want to have that--### Human: So that would be really confusing if you can do it one way but not the other way.### Assistant: Yeah.### Human: Yeah. That's making more sense, now.### Assistant: So that's where I was sort of going, the fact that if I didn't want to go to mom's, mom can't, "Oh, no. You have to do it because the court said this." So I'm like, "No, you can't." She can't use court against us. So if we want to go to dad's, mom can't go, "Well, court says this." She can't. It's the fact that we can go, instead of asking, "Mom, can we go to dad's?" Because it's whatever and whenever. And she never let us do that. But if we had the control, and go, "Look, mom, Wednesday I


### Human: So that would be really confusing if you can do it one way but not the other way.### Assistant: Yeah.### Human: Yeah. That's making more sense, now.### Assistant: So that's where I was sort of going, the fact that if I didn't want to go to mom's, mom can't, "Oh, no. You have to do it because the court said this." So I'm like, "No, you can't." She can't use court against us. So if we want to go to dad's, mom can't go, "Well, court says this." She can't. It's the fact that we can go, instead of asking, "Mom, can we go to dad's?" Because it's whatever and whenever. And she never let us do that. But if we had the control, and go, "Look, mom, Wednesday I### Human: ### Assistant: And what if--?


### Human: Yeah. That's making more sense, now.### Assistant: So that's where I was sort of going, the fact that if I didn't want to go to mom's, mom can't, "Oh, no. You have to do it because the court said this." So I'm like, "No, you can't." She can't use court against us. So if we want to go to dad's, mom can't go, "Well, court says this." She can't. It's the fact that we can go, instead of asking, "Mom, can we go to dad's?" Because it's whatever and whenever. And she never let us do that. But if we had the control, and go, "Look, mom, Wednesday I### Human: ### Assistant: And what if--?### Human: --it means that the fact that-- yeah. I don't see any point in it. Because it should be-- because mom's always gone on it's all about you spent and making us happier sort of thing, and that's what she's been all along. But having this court thing has made us unhappier because we don't have the freedom and choice to do that sort of thing.### Assistant: And why do you think it is that mom's holding onto the court and wanting that to be--?


### Human: And what is that about, do you feel, that it frustrates you that mom says, "Court says this. And we've got the court?" What do you think?### Assistant: Well, it's the fact that-- I don't see the point in this. Because when we get-- because this is all just temporary. We only got two more years, and then we can decide wherever we want to, how long we want to go. So in those two short years, and the fact that all this work from when we were, and I think it's been two years or something like that, it's the fact that all this hard work and mom trying to control where we go, so it's just going to be if it doesn't not happen .### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant: And how long has it been that you haven't liked being there? Because it wasn't like that at the start of the year.


### Human: And what if--?### Assistant: --it means that the fact that-- yeah. I don't see any point in it. Because it should be-- because mom's always gone on it's all about you spent and making us happier sort of thing, and that's what she's been all along. But having this court thing has made us unhappier because we don't have the freedom and choice to do that sort of thing.### Human: And why do you think it is that mom's holding onto the court and wanting that to be--?### Assistant: Because she knows that we don't enjoy having her there, and that means that no one can take us away if she has court-- if she has the court say. Because she knows that we're not exactly happy to be there. She knows that we'd prefer to be at dad's. So having courts means that if we go against them, dad gets pulled for it. So we're more likely to stay there to follow court rules. But if we don't have it there, if we want it to-- if we wanted to be at dad's more, we can do that. And she can't### Human: ### Assistant: June, July. Yeah.


### Human: And why do you think it is that mom's holding onto the court and wanting that to be--?### Assistant: Because she knows that we don't enjoy having her there, and that means that no one can take us away if she has court-- if she has the court say. Because she knows that we're not exactly happy to be there. She knows that we'd prefer to be at dad's. So having courts means that if we go against them, dad gets pulled for it. So we're more likely to stay there to follow court rules. But if we don't have it there, if we want it to-- if we wanted to be at dad's more, we can do that. And she can't### Human: ### Assistant: June, July. Yeah.### Human: Sort of thing. I sort of started to realize the fact that mom would say something, and that's what I believed. Because at the start, it was sort of the fact that because mom had decided to move away for months, and that sort of thing--### Assistant: And that was just before I met you this had happened. Yep.


### Human: And how long has it been that you haven't liked being there? Because it wasn't like that at the start of the year.### Assistant: Well, last year, at the start, it was sort of like the fact that-- when it all started, it was all sort of dad's fault. It was dad's fault that dad's done this, dad's done that. I'm totally innocent in this. And as it's gone on, we've sort of learned the fact that mom can't let go of the fact of what she knew of dad, which means every single time we go there, just the fact that she knows that-- she sort of thinks that everything we're angry at with mom is dad's problem. It's dad's fault bec### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant: Because my mindset then was the fact that dad was in the wrong because that's what mom had told us. The fact that it was all dad's doing. And the fact that know we found out why dad left us. And he said this to me, he's like, "Just believe what you want to believe." He's not going to stop me from doing that. But he says that not everything other people say is correct. Or some people may say something to you intending to put a different perspective on that person or the fact that th


### Human: June, July. Yeah.### Assistant: Sort of thing. I sort of started to realize the fact that mom would say something, and that's what I believed. Because at the start, it was sort of the fact that because mom had decided to move away for months, and that sort of thing--### Human: And that was just before I met you this had happened. Yep.### Assistant: Yeah. And that was sort of the fact of, oh, geez, you want to-- because I wanted to it with him, and that was the whole thing was the fact that it was sort of like I'm not 100% sure if I want to be at mom's. I still wanted to see mom at that stage. It's still like I wasn't 100% sure. And I said to him, "We'll just wait and see." And he did it because he needed to get away. And it sort of-- and I'm like, "Oh." Sort of took that on the chin sort of thing. And the fact that it was sort### Human: And dad had realized the change. Because I knew nothing about what was going on with dad. And I was sort of skeptical about it because at that stage, I just found out that dad and mom were seeing each other. And the fact that they were going to move in, it was sort of hitting me hard. And after that, I was sort of overwhelmed thinking what's all happening. And sort of at that stage, I was like, "Do I even want to be in this situation? Do I want to be-- do I get away from it? Do I not### Assistant:


### Human: And that was just before I met you this had happened. Yep.### Assistant: Yeah. And that was sort of the fact of, oh, geez, you want to-- because I wanted to it with him, and that was the whole thing was the fact that it was sort of like I'm not 100% sure if I want to be at mom's.

And sort of at that stage, I was like, "Do I even want to be in this situation? Do I want to be-- do I get away from it? Do I not### Assistant: ### Human: We can call her back. That's all good.### Assistant: Yeah, that's what mom had-- I forgot, we weren't through the whole thing. So I'm going to have to say that sort of stuff. So mom--


### Human: Yeah, you're making sense.### Assistant: I decided to sort of instead of believing what was first said to me, sort of taking time to think about it. And I sort of realized after the fact that dad wasn't as bad as I thought he was. Dad wasn't only responsible. Mom had some things that dad didn't like. And the fact that dad couldn't live with those sort of things and decided that himself. And I learned more about why dad left. Because what mom thought of dad leaving was just one. And it was sort of multiple reasons why dad left,### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant: That's what you were saying last time.


### Human: We can call her back. That's all good.### Assistant: Yeah, that's what mom had-- I forgot, we weren't through the whole thing. So I'm going to have to say that sort of stuff. So mom--### Human: But if you ever want to talk about it and go into it again, totally fine, too.### Assistant: Yeah. That's what mom thought, that dad left for college. But ended up it wasn't true. And I sort of started to figure out the fact that mom was doing it for her own relief. That was also making me unhappy. And when dad came back, he was unhappy. And sort of I spoke to him more about it, why he was unhappy. And he spoke to me more about it, things that he didn't like about mom anymore. And mom and dad went through a very long period of time where they would const### Human: ### Assistant:

She just adds things onto it.### Human: And I'm hearing, from what you're saying, your mom's quite stuck in those thoughts--### Assistant: In that.### Human: --and is really hard to step out and see how things can work out for the four of you.### Assistant: Yeah. And I sort of the-- I thought that her moving out of the house, moving on in life would sort of get her further away from it. But as we're getting close to the fact that mom's putting the house up and doing the house, she's gotten better in some ways. But the fact that she's also gotten-- I sort of feel like she's pushing us aside because she's focused on that because that's what's going to make her happiest is going to do this, and that, and that, and that.

And the fact that she s### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant: And that would be really confusing having two parents explaining things differently.


### Human: Yeah. That sounds right because you're not too far from being 16.### Assistant: Yeah. Because we were at home for, I think, a year or maybe something. I think seven or eight months. So we spent most of our life in that house. So it's just as much as that house to us as it is to them. But mom doesn't see that is that that's grownup stuff that we don't need to know that because we're coming more grownup, I see the fact that we need to know more about. Because we're obviously going to find out.### Human: And maybe that's where mom is at, I'm wondering, at the moment, trying to figure out you're turning into a grownup, what can she do and what does it look like. Because you're not--### Assistant: The fact that she says she's trying to protect us, but I sort of say the fact that if it's about dad, we're always going to find out. Because there's people in the streets that see it, there's people that know dad. It's always going to come back to us. So mom not saying it, we eventually find out anyways. And dad is honest. he makes dad be honest with us. So if he's done something wrong, or if he's done this to mom, or he's said this to mom, he expects dad to say to us becau### Human: ### Assistant: And it might be for mom to sit there and slowly be more comfortable. Because obviously, you are going to enjoy your time at dad's. And for her to sit with it and feel more comfortable.

And we spoke to our cousins' mom about it. And she says she's sort of grown to it because they've been separated for years. So our cousins sort of said it's all in good time it happens. But it takes a long time.### Assistant: And it sounds like it's been really hard for your mom. Like you said , and to be okay with what's happened.


### Human: And that would be really confusing having two parents explaining things differently.### Assistant: And around about Christmas, I sort of saw the real side of-- I guess, not the real side of, one side of mom was the fact that she was sort of in one way trying to compete what dad had gotten us that was sort of-- when we told mom-- she'd ask out of being polite, "What did you get for Christmas from dad?" And we'd tell her, she wouldn't listen because she doesn't want to hear that. It's she doesn't care what dad's gotten us. She wants to compete with that. And that's what mom has said at the### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant:


### Human: And it might be for mom to sit there and slowly be more comfortable. Because obviously, you are going to enjoy your time at dad's. And for her to sit with it and feel more comfortable.### Assistant: And we've had cousins who have gone through it. And we spoke to our cousins' mom about it. And she says she's sort of grown to it because they've been separated for years. So our cousins sort of said it's all in good time it happens. But it takes a long time.### Human: And it sounds like it's been really hard for your mom. Like you said , and to be okay with what's happened.### Assistant: And they also said that it pushed them further away from their mom and brought them towards their dad. But then, sort of after , because they were so young. They couldn't get away. It was the fact that that's what had been set, and that's what happens, and the fact that, I guess, that's what-- sorry. It's just that--### Human: No, you're all right. How's it been talking about this? Has it been helpful?### Assistant: Yeah. Yeah. So that's what-- I'm trying to find the right word for it. Yeah. That's sort of because they were so young, they had no escape of it. And they said that as they're getting older, they sort of get that escape of it.

Because it was really mentally hard on me. And the fact that I sort of pushed away from school, and my anger, obviously. I was bottling everything up. And then, I had no way to express it--

And then, it got to the stage where I got extremely violent, and I could have possibly seriously hurt someone.

Because you haven't been violent the whole time.### Assistant: That sort of being able to talk like this, sort of moving on and finding more ways, more happy places, more places where I'm actually happy. And I sort of found out the fact that every time we do go back to mom's, it's sort of the fact that mom expects-- because mom doesn't treat us like adults. She wants us to be like adults. And she puts so much stuff onto us, yet she has it-- so she puts stuff on us that we have to do, and she expects us to do it like adults. But she doesn't want to trea

So what's brought you, in some aspects, to come here, and what it was like before we started talking?


### Human: So that was that responsibility, independence.### Assistant: Mom has a high expectation for us. But the fact she doesn't want us-- she wants us to act like adults, and she has a high expectation of, but she doesn't treat us like adults either. So this gap between what she expects of us and what she actually sets us is very big. So when we do something that's here, mom goes, "It's not good enough. We need to be here." So it sort of makes it hard for us because there's that gap between what she actually sets and what we do . the### Human: ### Assistant: ### Human: ### Assistant: It's confusing, it sounds.

Because mom can put up in as detail as she wants because she knows we're not going to see it because we've already blocked her. So in her way, she wants us to be friends with her on Facebook again. But it was our way of saying the fact that we don't want to be friends on Facebook with you because we are-- so it was sort of in a way b### Human: ### Assistant:

Because we focused a lot about sleep in lots of our sessions. Just wanted to check in because you said it was really good last week.### Assistant: Yeah. It hasn't really changed. I went to bed at 11:30 tonight. Let's hope that's tonight. Last night.### Human: We're in the future.### Assistant: Yeah. I'm going out this time tonight. Yeah.

I really liked how you worded it. It was, I think, so if there's things on your mind, those shadows and noises increase. So I'm more happier at the moment.### Assistant: Yeah. I guess, when I'm happier, I honestly think the fact that because of all these shadows is when I'm unhappy with the stuff that's going on.
