It's like, I want to maintain a strong connection to the child, but also I want to protect myself from being swamped by the misery, and if the self-protection instinct dominates, I could be doing more harm than if I visibly get upset.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
