Consider
the following opening statements from "Shelly," a 14-year old
girl whose parents divorced: "Everyday, I think of my dad and
wish he was still home. Then when he finally calls I don't
even want to talk to him! It's not my fault he's not here to

know what to say to him."

article from New Hope's website that you might offer "Shelly"
(at the end of the conversation):
