Just figured it out [House and Wilson]

Nov 30, 2007 22:52

I was just sitting on the front porch, having a cigarette and being contemplative. Thinking, actually, about the longer fic on which I'm currently working, and about all the discussions lately concerning the changing House-Wilson dynamic. And something hit me--hard.

I figured out, in an instant, why I'm so defensive of, and protective towards, ( Read more... )

Get some rest, dear.

You're about to step into the funhouse again -- don't go there. Wilson loves House more than he loves his own life, and if he's worn out after this hellish year and House's electrocution stunt, it doesn't mean he's going anywhere.

He can't, because House owns a very large, very vital part of Wilson's soul. And Wilson knows it.

but... but... but.... i've stayed away from the dependence/addiction debate [which is, btw, still raging as of thirty minutes or so ago]. and i've been working on sde. now what i need is an 'off' switch for my oxy-fueled brain.....

maybe a cup of tea.

yeah.

Okay, you've been writing SDE -- I can't fault you for that. And if that oxy stuff helps fuel your brain, pass some in this direction, will you? My brain is right out of fuel tonight.

What Mare said. I agree with her, completely and unequivocally.

Gotta agree with that. Having sort of been in the carer role, I can attest to how it can wear someone down. But thankfully (or unfortunately) Wilson is a fictional character. I think Wilson is taking steps to stabilize himself because he is aware of what is happening-- and he is aware of how him going down is going to take House with him. Wilson seems to be reaching out for help- and since he really doesn't have an outside support system he's gone to a professional source for that help. Wilson would have considered his state and realized that him being messed up was going to reflect on House. Since House is outside that support loop he doesn't know exactly what Wilson is doing he's going to be uncertain of where these changes are leading and will probably be either clingy or-- seeing that Wilson seems happier and stabler-- House might try and push Wilson away to protect him ( ... )

I don't know. Chronic pain certainly takes its toll on the patient and those around him/her, but I've worked with some patients who seem to be fortunate enough to have real life Wilson types. People may get worn out every now and then and even need an occasional respite, but they rarely completely desert those they love, just as Wilson won't be deserting House (imho).;)
Props to you for staying out of that whole debate btw, I couldn't manage to do so.
Best.

I want you to know that while reading this my head was nodding at a lot of your points all of which had less to do with House/Wilson and more with watching my parents marriage fall apart due to my dad's chronic illness. By the time he passed away they weren't even on speaking terms anymore. Caring for a sick person or on in pain does drain you out and you are right, there really is no real life Wilson.
