Adderall shortage continues unabated. I may be ready to kill somebody. Or take apart my oven to stop the government watching me. It's kind of a toss-up.
Also, it's damned good to finally have a safe space for my brother to come to and get the hell away from my father. It's just as rough being the favored child as it is the failure; for one, he needs to control the favored child more. I'd never considered that, but now I'm seeing it in action.
Sage isn't immune to the constant seething tension, the sensation that somewhere under the surface his father is ramping up toward something terrible. I find I don't envy him for being the golden child anymore. Now I'm just afraid for him, because people aren't built for pedestals, and I honestly cannot say what Dad will do if Sage ever gets brought down to less than perfect.
