Scorpio

The version of the absent parent you keep thinking about costs you hours every week, and those hours add up to years of attending to someone who is not attending back. You have built a detailed picture from partial information and careful hope, and you have spent more time refining that picture than the actual person ever spent on you. The question is whether you want to keep paying the weekly cost of holding this particular idea of them in place when the real person stopped participating in it a long time ago.
