    When I Started Keeping Score

    Friday’s meeting slipped through your fingers until you opened Excel at midnight. Row by row, you rebuilt who said what, when. The shortfall you flagged. The nod he gave. The action items he walked out with that had started in your head. This wasn’t therapy. It was documentation. Because memory can be doubted, but formulas can’t. The Silence Tax isn’t always the extra work you do: sometimes it’s the record you’re forced to keep so no one can erase what happened. This is exhausting. You're not imagining it. Content Notice Documentation, not confession. Patterns preserved, details altered. If it sounds familiar, it is. That's the point. Language left intact. Adult themes unavoidable.

    When I Realized No One Was Coming

    You know this call. The school, the daycare, the babysitter. Someone sick, someone hurt, someone who needs you now. You were booked solid until 6, but twenty-three minutes of calls to find backup yielded nothing but excuses. This episode documents the moment you stop waiting for rescue that was never coming. The moment you realize you're not the backup plan — you're the only plan. The sole functioning adult in an ecosystem of strategic helplessness. This is exhausting. You're not imagining it. Content Notice Documentation, not confession. Patterns preserved, details altered. If it sounds familiar, it is. That's the point. Language left intact. Adult themes unavoidable.

    Why Boundaries Are Just More Work
