Meditation and Sleep
No meditation. Went to bed at 11:30 pm and woke up at 6:00 am.
Dream
I had broken the news to my father that Emily and I are expecting twins, and that we had gone to a sperm donor.
He wasn’t happy.
In my dream, it was Sean that had shared Dad’s disappointment. He said something to the effect of Dad having to have been admited a few times to something (I don’t remember what, I think it was an acronym) like “WERC” — I honestly don’t remember clearly what the health unit was, but I remember feeling it was serious, and it was related to depression maybe?
Contemplations and Connections
I remember feeling like it was a confirmation of what I fear is going to happen when I break the news to my Dad that we’re expecting more kids. I have a dreadful feeling that he’s going to be dismissive, just as Sean was — or worse.
I worry that this news is going to be the final nail in the coffin for my relationship with my immediate family. My aunts, uncles, and cousins share more joy for our lives than my brothers and father does.
