Dear Cali Chica:

Good morning. It will be nice when the heat wave is over, wouldn’t it.

“to know that pretty much everything my mother said was false! Including the savior role, from which the SCC role was born”- like I wrote to you earlier, a broken clock is correct twice in 24 hours; your mother underperformed a broken clock.

“A scorching hot weekend where everyone was indoors. It reminded me of how my mother would have been overwhelmed with the prospect of staying indoors all weekend, and ‘finding activities’ for us”- your mother being overwhelmed means you were overwhelmed (the one mental unit).

“It is difficult for me to relax”- your job was to prevent your mother from being overwhelmed by becoming overwhelmed yourself before she does, and seeing to it that she is entertained do to prevent her from getting overwhelmed, and to get your sister busy so to prevent your mother becoming distressed over your sister being at home friendless.

Your Social Super CC role was born out of your need to prevent your mother from getting distressed and overwhelmed by becoming distressed and overwhelmed yourself and doing what is needed to prevent that from happening to her.
