Sorry about your dad, first and foremost. It's still astonishing that despite everything that was happening to you, kids managed to push past it and still call you names, like it was some sort of divine mandate.

I'm glad you're better now. Going from how we were to how we are now is a steep learning curve, riddled with sroodpart everywhere, waiting to suck you down and destroy all your progress. But if you actually make it to the top, you've got a damn near unbreakable foundation.

Thank you, and I'm sure you passed on your survival genes to your kids. I feel like anyone who has those has way more than wealth
