I might have felt more (or even something) for these characters if the story had allowed me to be a fly in the therapist office. I personally would have appreciated a chance to understand more what was happening with Sammie and reality as she perceived it rather than sitting in the waiting room. When the "twist" arrived I realized I actually did not care. Bummer.

Update (4.5): I really like this but it's so visceral and triggering that I don't know if I could read it again. So much of the desperation of parenthood hits too close to home for me. The loneliness and isolation of being a stay-at-home-parent. the overstimulation. all of it.
