Dear Ravi:

This is so terrible, is the word that feels real to me, to read about your distress and knowing it has been going on for so long… It’s been going on for too long. I am going to try to understand your situation in a new way. Please tell me, Ravi, at this point, under the best circumstances, the very best: Jerry communicating with you as lovingly as she did in the past, with you doing very well on the upcoming exams, UNDER THESE BEST circumstances, what will life be for you? What is the best you can realistically look forward to??? (Draw me a picture: how long will you be living where you always have lived, will you be moving elsewhere? If you will be living elsewhere, who will be living with you- will your grandmother and parents be moving to your new home if there is one? Etc.)
