The Silver Linings Playbook Chapter 33

Letter 4-November 29, 2006Dear Pat,Tiffany informs me you are sincere, and from what she has told me about your new(a) personality, it seems as though you are a completely transformed man. Whether this is the aftermath of the accident, therapy, medication, or simply sheer willpower, you are to be congratulated, because this is no piddling feat.First allow me to say I recommended Huck Finn for your reading pleasure only. I was non trying to send you a hidden message. ground on everything you have written and what Tiffany has told me maybe you should read The Catcher in the Rye. Its about a young boy named Holden who has a hard cartridge clip coping with reality. Holden wants to live in a childhood world for the informality of his life, which makes him a very beautiful and interesting character, but one who has stir up finding his place in the real world. At present, it seems as though you are having a hard time dealing with reality. Part of me thrills at the changes you have made, because your letters really do present a better(p) man. But I also worry that this worldview you have developed is fragile, and may be what kept you in the neural health facility for so legion(predicate) years and is keeping you in your parents basement for so many months. At some point you are going to have to make the basement, Pat. You are going to have to get a job and take a shit money again, and then you might not be able to be the person you have been for the last few months.Of course I mobilize Massachusetts. We were so young, and the memory is beautiful. Ill carry it with me forever. But we WERE CHILDREN, Pat. That was more than a ecstasy ago. Im not the type of woman who would sleep in an economy motel anymore. possibly you have again become the type of man who would whisk a woman away to Marthas Vineyard. Maybe you are experiencing some sort of sustain childhood. I dont know. But I do know you will non be experiencing a back childhood with me. I am not a child, Pat. Im a woman who loves her current husband very much. My bespeak when I agreed to write you was never to allow you a second chance. My goal was not to allow you to reenter my life. I only wanted to introduce you a chance to say goodbye to resolve any candid issues. I want to be clear about this.Nikki
