She saw my dad in me, and she utterly loathed my dad. She was all sorts of messed up. She was too young, she blamed everyone else for her problems. I was an 8 year old boy upon whom she was able to take out her anger with no immediate consequences. Beatings, neglect, and screaming at me how all men were dirty r-pists who give women cancer via sex. She hugged me and told me she loved me once, when I was dying in hospital (I got better, obviously).

Yeah, much better. I escaped across the Atlantic lol, and found an amazing woman, my soulmate who gets me like nobody else.

Thank you for listening, it can be tough on people reading that kind of stuff.
