Hey kiddo, how are ya?
"Hey, I'm good, ya'know."
Yeah, I know. Everything's good? Keeping up on school and work? Trying to adjust to the new home and the new dad?
"It's tough but I get by."
You really don't like him, do you?
"Not really... he's not like my dad."
Yeah, I can understand. Hey, how's your buddies? They taking care of you and all?
"Yeah, we hang out all the time, it's great."
I bet (eye roll as I'm giving the understanding nod)... Now, be honest and tell me something you don't typically say to please someone. You know I care, so tell me the truth. Are you okay?
"What? Yeah, I'm fine, why?"
The truth...
