Thread.
Just a thing, on stuff I've had cause to think about lately. I'm thinking it's likely some of you out there may be going through something similar.
My dad was violent. I work with kids now, and the stuff that he did, I'd be reporting it nowadays, if I thought any of the kids I work with these days were going through anything similar.
Thing is, I didn't know it wasn't normal. I'm getting on for 50 years old, and I'm only just starting to deal with the aftereffects.

What I'm finding is, I've learned patterns of thinking and ways of behaving and ways to respond to people that are based on that stuff. I'm starting to see how my relationships, of all sorts, are affected by it. Like 40+ years later.
I suspect I'm not the only one.
I'm not an expert in all this. But if anyone has gone through, or is going through, similar stuff and wants to chat, I'm open to it.
I'm just starting to see how important it is to be able to open up about it.

So yeah. Offer's open. Send me a DM if you have a pro account. Say you'd like to talk if you haven't, and I'll DM you.
I know it might be an issue if you don't have a pro account and can't initiate a DM so I've opened my Twitter account's DMs so anyone can now send one. The account is @66ALW99. I'll keep it open as long as I don't get spam or abuse or whatever.
Honestly, if you want to talk, reach out.
