Southside Community Services: Mrs. Bargas and Amy, Episode 1 Program Transcript

LINDA: Thank you for agreeing to come in and meet together. I know I've met with the two of you individually, but there are some issues that we need to discuss as mother and daughter. Have you two had a chance to discuss any of the things that have been going on?

MRS. BARGAS: Well, it's hard to talk about anything when I don't know what you two are talking about. And she doesn't tell me anything.

LINDA: What we do discuss in this office is confidential. But we are going to talk openly now about the issues between the two of you.

Mrs. Bargas, can you share some of your concerns that you have about Amy?

MRS. BARGAS: I feel like you're shutting me out. We don't talk the way we used to. I need you, honey. I've got a lot on me right now-- work, things with dad.

AMY: You've got a lot on you? What about me? She's got me working with my little brother after school. I have to feed him dinner and help with his homework. And I've got my own schoolwork to deal with.

LINDA: Amy, how would you feel about sharing with your mom what's been going on at school so that she can better understand?

OK. We'll keep working on that.

How do you feel about Amy's reluctance to talk about this?

MRS. BARGAS: Ever since I started working, I feel completely out of touch. I don't know what's going on with anyone in the family now.

It scares me.

LINDA: OK. I think we've identified some things that we can work on.
