This choice: The plan on getting help for Scott • Go Back...Chapter #8They plan on getting help for Scott by: DrZaaijer   "Look, let me talk to Scott and see what is wrong."
"I told you, he says he isn't Scott, but Theresa."
"Scott thinks you and him have switched bodies?" Dad asked Theresa.
"No, he said I was his sister, but that he is Theresa," Theresa said.
"What does he think you name is?"
"I don't know. He didn't say."
"I'll talk to him and see what the problem is."
"Be gentle," mom reminded dad.
"I will, I will."
Dad came out of the den and looked in Theresa's room for Scott. He wasn't there. Then he looked in Scott's room. He wasn't there either. Finally dad located him in the kitchen. Scott was dressed in Theresa's clothes and eating some ice cream. He wasn't sitting like he normally did he was sitting with both legs on a diagonal and his left foot behind his right ankle like Theresa usually sits. It was also Theresa's habit to eat comfort food when she was upset. Scott seemed to pick up this habit. Scott had a few minutes to think about what happened and then he became upset by the whole thing.
"Hello, I heard you had a problem with mom." Dad said sympathetically. He purposefully avoided calling him Scott or son or referring to his sister Theresa.
"I don't know what is wrong. Mom was playing a trick on me. She said I'm not Theresa, that I am Scott. It was funny for about two seconds but she wouldn't let up.. Then sis asked me all these silly questions."
"I understand."
"You aren't going to tell me, I'm not Theresa right?"
"No, I'm not."
"Great," Scott said and then he gave his dad a hug and a kiss. He hadn't kissed his father before since he was maybe eleven. Dad hugged Scott back.
Dad knew that Scott wasn't acting like himself. He could tell that Scott really believed what he said. Dad thought that maybe because Scott was having so much trouble as a boy that his mind had snapped. If you would have asked dad what Scott had done that wasn't appropriate for a boy his age he couldn't tell you, but he was certain nevertheless. Like Scott was certain he was Theresa and had always been Theresa. "I'm going to talk to your mom and your sister. I am going to ask them to apologize for doing what they did. Everything will be alright."
While dad was talking to Scot, mom and Theresa were talking.
"What did dad mean that Scott would be better off as a man?" mom asked Theresa.
"I don't know."
"Has dad ever said anything like that to you before?"
"No, of course not. You know how tight dad and Scott have been. "
"Yeah, they seem perfectly fine. They go to ballgames together and camping and all that guy stuff. Why would he say that Scott should be a girl? Anyway, Scott is definitely sick. He doesn't know who he is."
"He knows who he is...he thinks he is me. Mom how did Scott know all those things about me. I mean he could have guessed about when my first period was. He could have found out who my Gynecologist is, but how could he know what panties I was wearing when I had my date last week. No one knew that and all the other stuff that Scott knew about me."
"I don't know. Could he have been watching you?"
"That is really sick. You think he was watching me dress?"
"How else would he have known?"
"No other way." But Theresa had put on the panties after her shower. How could have Scott seen her?
"We will have to get him to a doctor. Maybe he has a tumor or something in his head."
It was at this time that dad came back to the den. "You are right, I saw him, he doesn't only think he is Theresa he is acting like her too."
"How so?"
"You know how when you," dad was referring to Theresa, "get upset you pig out? Well Scott is doing the same thing with ice cream. He looks like he is on the verge of tears and he is even sitting like you do." Theresa happened to be sitting the way Scott was sitting at this very moment.
"I think we should take him to a doctor."
"You are probably right, but we shouldn't upset him. I think you two should go to the kitchen and say your sorry."
"Say I'm sorry?" Theresa asked incredulously.
"Yes, he has to trust you or he'll dig in his heels and refuse to do anything. Just like you would, Theresa." Theresa could be very stubborn when she wanted to be.
