so many hugs

and you're not alone in this, I understand it perfectly

just last night I dreamt of my father using slur words at me , I basically told him he was a bad father and should have been supportive and spoken well to me

and then on waking I realised, I have never had a nice dream of my father or sister, not one . That kinda made me sad. I've never missed them either.

In my own life as a parent I have tried to be as open and loving and supportive as I can be and I am so lucky to have the Young Seagoons, they are really good people.

That's the one blessing isn't it. We're working hard to make sure our kids don't ever have to feel that.
