@alexink I appreciate you saying so. Sometimes I feel like I'm in my head entirely with these things, making it all up and it isn't actually reality. Writing about it helps to a point, but there is so much there, a lot of which I have no memory of, that writing only seems to take it so far. Not that I'm looking for answers per se, but I do want to better understand things...why they are the way they are, how I can do better, and so on. Family is such an interesting dynamic.
