Part 2 of the series Domestic Encounters.

‘Taking advice’ is a reference to the entertainment trope of the angel/devil on giving advice on the character’s ear. Lately I’ve been feeling like wanting advice from the angel, after years of taking it from the devil. Aside from a religious point of view, listening to the angel is listening to the patient, kind, not self-destructive part of me. It is fun listening to the devil for some while, but as times goes by, I long for nothing more than quiet.
