He was certainly encouraged, and by his mother, to pursue the ways of inward intellectual freedoms, up to a point; but he was early inculcated with the expectation that the outside world meant danger at the least, and tragedy more probably.

Actually however, physical extension in space, in terms of even short journeys, will help to expand your psychic and mental horizons, and will help compensate for other freedoms that your house would have provided.

–we can afford some personal digressions. Definitely some freedoms must be achieved to compensate for the freedoms that the house would have provided.

Expectation on his part of the house to some degree at least provided this. His tendency, both for undisciplined reactions and for habitual discipline, seem contradictory, but represent merely counterbalances in his nature. He could, conceivably, act with no discipline, but he could also conceivably deny himself any freedom at all, and hide within schedule and habit.

You did not realize earlier how strong this desire for habit, and reliance upon it, could be with him. Like others, though to a lesser extent, you were misled by the more gaudy desire for exuberance and freedom, which is also a basic and engaging part of his nature, and an important part actually from the standpoint of his writing and our sessions.
