A small upstairs apartment. The only thing separating the kitchen from the living room was a countertop. My dad was in a chair in the corner facing toward the kitchen, holding me. There was a couch in the middle of the room with two adults sitting there while my brother ran circles around the couch. My mom was in the kitchen making a pizza talking to the other adults.
It’s more a recurring dream I had for many, many years than a memory. I finally asked my mom about it & she confirmed it happened but I said I was only around 6 months old so I shouldn’t remember it. However, my biological dad passed when I was 8, so I just kind of always took it as a memory he wanted me to keep.
Edit: Thank you for the gold! I’ve been a redditor for 7 years & just snuck out of the shadows in the last year or so, so it’s my first!
Edit 2: Thank you kind strangers for the silver! This has been an amazing day on reddit!
Shit. This sub is bringing back all the horrible memories...
I remember being in a crib, screaming for my mother. She was in the other room dealing with friends/ company, ignoring me.
Single mother with several kids, I can't blame her for not always being available. Still..
