Cut+Meeting+2

The mood of Cut so far is very depressing. Throughout the last part that the group read we learned that Callie is very worried about her relationship with her father. He does not come to visit her when her mother and brother do. Her and her dad use to be very close and now that she is in a very weird state of mind, he doesn't understand why she is acting like this right now. Though he is not there for her she knows that he cares about her more then anything and is just giving her space to recover.

Do you think that Callie truly understands why her father is neglecting to show affection to her? We believe that Callie thinks that its okay that her father can never make it to visiting days because she is forcing herself to. She doesn't want to see the bad in her father so she focuses solely on making the situation positive. Do you think that the way Callies father is handling the situation is the right way?

What is a better way that Callies father can approach the situation?
