Been there my friend

Thanks mate I re edited my comment to put it all back incase it’s helpful. And absolutely, gender can make a big difference to how a child is treated. It is kinda good that you don’t know what you’ve missed. I get what you mean about childhood still haunting you, it’s really hard to unlearn things we learned back then. Therapy can really help, it can change how we think… it’s about self development not things being wrong with us

Thanks shades, didn’t click about that. Really appreciate you pointing it out.

These are really valid questions! I’m a fiercely pro dad woman, and I’ll try to answer. IME people’s relationship with their dad tends to be different to their mom, they’re two different roles and two different people. IME people tend to go to dad for practical stuff (financial advice, DIY, moving things etc) and mom for home based practical and lengthy emotional discussions. Dad will also do emotional stuff, but often different style eg pep talks. For protection stuff, IME people go to dad.

Yes I love and miss my dad very much. A good person accepts mistakes, no matter what their role. And you can always go to a good parent cos they’re always safe.

I’m sorry you didnt get the dad all children deserve. Have you found [email protected] People post when they need dad style advice or a hug.

Thanks otp, unfortunately I struggle to read text on lemmy coloured backgrounds. Writing is also just going to unavoidably foil me sometimes. Please bear in mind, the way written language developed is neurotypical, and so not how my brain is wired. If everyone’s brain was wired like me, written language would have developed differently. It isn’t as simple as learning linguistic rules… if it was, I’d have done that years ago.

Yep I’m neurodiverse I do that sometimes. Please don’t comment on my symptoms in future, it isn’t very nice for me. Thanks for understanding ♥️

Yep that goes without saying. He’s definitely a DA perp, and he’s incredibly dangerous.

Lone actor grievance fuelled violence is no joke. It’s linked to racism, misogyny, anti LGBT and basically all the hatred. They’re fucking dangerous and it feels like they’re on the rise. A recent Uk case is here

He’s a fucking psychopath. As in, he literally shows warning signs for anti social personality disorder. Obviously I’m not qualified to diagnose him, but that doesn’t mean my fear isn’t real

This is a totally unfair and inaccurate comment. He already tore apart democracy when he deliberately incited jan 6th. Please give the megalomaniac appropriate credit in future

Haha rest well my dude

Pedro Pascal plays a lot of single dads eg The Mandalorian, The Last of Us. He stands up for people (noticeably gung ho about trans rights) so he’s become the Internet daddy see here

Genius I love it

I’m really sorry I should have put a NSFL tag on it

Sad but true

Haha yep

Yes it’s definitely oversimplified

That makes sense thanks

Ahhhh I see, it’s like the heart hasn’t got enough power. That’s really simple thanks

That’s a lot of financial stress over your life and the sad truth is that life costs money. You need money to cope. Big age gaps cause a lot of difficulties cos you’re in really different places, it’s rough
