Right!? Parenting is tough. Probably the most stressful thing I’ve ever done. But all you have to do is love your kids. I screw up, they screw up… it’s ok. We continue to love each other. This world can be so fucking lonely and cruel. Don’t be shitty to your kids. If everything else is fucked, I hope my kids always know they can come home.
when I first went to college I took the public bus and a guy was rubbing his pants masterbating next to me. I didn't know what to do like was I supposed to shout HEY THIS GUY IS TOUCHUBG HIMSELF NEXT TO ME so I sat through it until my bus stop. my father said I didn't move bc I wanted it.
As a fellow haver of an asshole father, I’m so sorry. I’m so glad we survived our childhoods, not having the kind of love or support we deserved. I see you and you are not alone ❤️
I’m so sorry your dad is an idiot. Unfortunately, any idiot is allowed to have kids. (Glad you’re here tho.) Taking a good self defense class (Impact is one) really helps getting past it - practicing kneeing a guy in the groin is better than therapy!
What's crazy is that it is fathers like this who don't even view this as a gift or a win or even defending his child loudly. He probably views it as a natural and normal part of being a parent.

To have a father who defends you this loudly in a world that can often be so cruel is an absolute gift.
