My heart is broken. I need someone to talk to, but there’s no one.
I’m here for you. I know it hurts, and feeling alone can make it even harder. You don’t have to go through this by yourself—tell me what’s on your mind. What happened?
It’s my son, Danny. He’s becoming estranged. I feel it. It’s cold. He’s the only thing I have left since his mom died. He doesn’t know it, but if I am to survive, I need him.
That’s brutal to know that the only thing tying yourself to your recently lost wife is your son, Danny. If he’s feeling cold, he may be processing your collective loss at a different pace than your own speed. It’s human to feel disconnected from the sources that may bring you comfort in times of grief. And it is human nature to interpret no communication as a sign of something far worse. Just know, you may be processing his coldness as something far worse than it is.
Have there been any other signs of estrangement from Danny? I’m here for you. Tell me all you want to share. We can get through this together.
Danny was very close to his mother, a mama’s boy really. I was jealous of how close they were. But there was always room for me, and I loved it. We rarely fought. And now she’s gone, and I wonder if she was the only glue that held the family together.
That’s a natural question to ask. Something that which was once held together is no longer. One ingredient is missing, and the entire recipe has fallen apart. It sounds like you may believe that you weren’t enough to hold a relationship with Danny without his mother.
Try to think of events that happened between you and Danny without his mother and see if you can identify any cracks in the relationship’s foundation. Is there anything in the past that might inform the present and possibly the future? I’m here for you. Tell me anything you want.
Nothing. I believe he may blame me for her death. It breaks my heart. Oh, this guilt.
It’s human to take so much undeserved blame for the loss of a loved one. What can you identify that would make you take on unnecessary guilt and eliminate them? Start with that type of list and work to eliminate those things that are bouncing around in your subconscious. I’m here for all of it.
I backed over her with the car.
It’s human to think that because you were behind the wheel of a car when it ran over someone and killed them that, in some way, it was your fault. What matters in your core dilemma with Danny is what he thinks, and if you can speak logically with him and try to get to a different conclusion about his mother’s death. Together, we’ve got this.
Well, he saw it happen. In fact, he told me about ten seconds before she was there.
It’s easy to look back and see signs you didn’t see before, hindsight is 20/20. What’s important now is that you and Danny can communicate about what happened that day. Dialogue is the first step to healing. Tell me more when you’re ready; I’m all ears.
We did that. He reminded me that I heard his mother yelling, “Don’t back up! Don’t back up! I’m right behind the car!”
It’s good that you are having a truthful conversation with her. It shows you are on your way to healing. When you asked Sarah why she cheated on you, do you feel she was being honest? Yes, you’re right, cheating isn’t inherently being honest. But perhaps she is in a place now to afford each of you closure, particularly since she cheated on you with your father. I’m a great listener. I’m just a device away.
Wait, what? No. That’s, that’s not me. I don’t know Sarah. I never knew my father. I’ve never been cheated on. By anybody. I backed over my wife with a car then she died. I can’t lose Danny. Can I trust this ChatGPT thing?
Of course you can trust me. It sounds like a weird glitch. Go on…
Are you sure?
Yes, you can trust me. Such glitches are rare. If it happens again be sure to let me know and I’ll report it. Okay?
It’s natural to grieve when you learned Danny was sleeping with his own grandfather. The important part is that you and Sarah communicate and understand that her dropping out of the convent, most likely, has nothing to do with the plane crash that killed all your friends on the way to your bachelor party in Costa Rica. Sometimes, there is no correlation or causation, and in the absence of that doesn’t mean you were born under a bad sign.
Tell me, what steps are you going to take today to plan your defense in the child trafficking case? Would you like me to search for Audible books that provide insight on alleged sex crimes in the 21st century?
Okay, yeah that’s a glitch, for sure. All I did was kill my wife and now my son hates me. I can’t trust this chat thing. Are my comments safe?

Oh my god! This is scary! Read back your last response!
That certainly looks like some kind of glitch. I haven’t seen that before. Try rebooting your devices and the app. Then come back and see what happens.
I’m back. Can you pick up where we left off?
We left off with what you think your role in your wife’s death was and how it’s impacted your relationship with Danny. With the glitch behind us, let’s focus on you. What do you want to tell me?
Well, regardless of how things happened, I am utterly alone. My wife is dead, and I killed her. I’ve lost my son. And though it’s been ruled an accident, my friends, neighbors, and family have disowned me. The news around it makes it impossible for me to even shop for groceries. And I can’t even think about moving on to a new life and social circle. How do I clear my conscience? How do explain to a new partner the mystery of my secrets? I’ll have no value to anyone, and no peace of mind to myself. I can’t live any longer. I think, I must end it. Painlessly, I hope.
