Dear Duderino:

Am I correct in my understanding at this point, that you are a very intelligent, educated (self educated if not officially so), well read young man, very rational, cares a lot about making your own way in life, that is, thinking independently, not being told what to think; finding solutions to your problems, not handing your problems to a therapist to find the answers for you. You want to come up with the answers yourself, you trust yourself this way, not others.

And the young boy in you need someone he can trust, not just anyone. And that someone you can trust, you think of that person as the father you don’t remember. The father who died in tragic circumstances when you were so very young, you imagine that he is the one person you could trust, if you had him in your life.

Am I correct?
