Ruburt is learning much to his advantage in the present circumstances regarding your own parents. The affair allows him to make comparisons, to compare and evaluate present events with past ones. To discharge, and then examine, emotional responses that have lain latent.

This is the adult’s chance to understand and emotionally exorcise parental ghosts from the child’s past. They will be viewed in the light of the present, brought up because of your family’s dilemma, to the light of day.

I will try this evening to help you on both of these levels. On Ruburt’s part he is finding himself able to handle a parental situation with you, along with you, even though the crisis evokes long repressed, highly charged emotions from his own past.

In facing the situation in your parent’s house, he faces and conquers the situation once existing in his mother’s house. There is some resistance, but he now recognizes it as such, and is able to overcome it. The situation does not gobble him up. He was always afraid that it would.

The parents are not all powerful. They now need support. They are people, they are not magic monsters out to devour him.

They, your parents, are done with each other, your mother being more honest than your father in this respect. (Long pause.) Her rage, you must understand, is the other face of life, vitality and love, and she will not give up her demands. She will try to shove him out, and he will cower before her strength. He always resented her vitality.

(Pause.) Your brother Dick was meant to be a female. He was to have been a little sister. Give us a moment. (Pause.) There will be a separation of the mother and the father. The father’s shell will feel pushed out initially, but then will find peace and contentment, for it is passive, and has been pushed to exhaustion. (My parents did end up separated)

The suggestions he has written down are also taking effect. Your intimate life and his biological periods will also improve now, but he must continue what he has been doing in connection with your parents. A portion of him is quite deliberately using that situation—that is, as a catharsis, so the honest emotional attitude must be maintained.

The old panic is being dispelled through the present situation with your parents. At a lesser degree of development this would not be the case. Both your father and your mother subconsciously know your position and Ruburt’s. Subconsciously they both know that this good is coming from their own situation.
