Chapter 11

Helen had become deeply troubled. Since she had found her son mounting her best friend and sending Rachel through the roof with pleasure, she was at her wits end as to what to do. She dare not mention it to Glen who had already had two more

run-ins with Phillipe, the last ending in a shouting match in which Phillipe had all but said he could take his mother away from his father if he wanted. Glen had dared him to try and now the stage was set. Phillipe genuinely cared for his mother, but the animosity between he and his father was almost palpable and the two now simply avoided each other.

Helen had only a few other friends but none as close as Rachel and all of them female. She most certainly would not be sending any more women to talk with her son. Katy's relationship with her brother was little better than Glen's which left only a counselor. That too was a disaster as Phillipe continued to outwit the man at every turn and turned all the psychological theory back on the psychologist who, after a dozen sessions admitted defeat. There was nothing he could do for a boy who knew more psychology than he did and knew exactly how to use it against him.
