was that his gains were not necessarily lasting ones.

I didn't have much experience with people who didn't actually make progress or, rather, who lost their progress with their insight in their next episode. So, I kept expecting a learning curve that was not the one he was on and that didn't even measure what I thought it measured. That was pretty devastating when I finally figured it out.

I'm glad your dad's house is open to you.
