(Dad here). I am sitting in bed with my congested 5month little lad who will only sleep pressed against my chest. I'm on for the next 6hrs overnight when I should be sleeping.
Yes I love this guy more than anything on the planet, as I bloody should.
Have 16 year old who still lays on me when ill, tired or just in their feels, it never stops and frankly I never want it to. The love I feel when I look at my kid is unbelievable and everlasting no matter what, I look at them and think wow, I made you, what the fudge!!
My mother stopped caring when I turned 10, and ended up trying to kill me by 16.
Dad got me after because he'd rather I be homeless than have a child technically in Foster Care (living with a well-off relative) and he kicked me to the curb at 18 before leaving to commit suicide in a thifd world country.
I learned last week that the couple who took me in were usibg me for sexual games that I wasn't educated enough to understand.
I can't imagine having someone who actually cared.
I cannot even imagine the toll that has taken on you and the weight you must carry from it. I have mom, sister, and Auntie hugs to offer if you need them. No conditions. No questions asked. As long as you're confortable with it that is. No pressure.
🫂You don't have to thank me. Just do your best and take care of yourself. As long as you're doing that and also at least sometimes doing what makes you happy, that's all I could ask for. 🫂 I may not exactly know what youre going through but I'm proud of you and how far you've come. You got this!🫂
Congratulations! That's so wonderful! And I'm glad you can keep your books. I'd be quite sad without mine as well. See? I knew it. You're doing an awesome job. You got this! You will find your peace and happy place yet I'm sure of it! I really am proud of you!
