I never had a relationship with my father or any father figure type(stepfather was a real prick). So when I see my boss is taking his college bound daughter to get her wisdom teeth pulled and stay with her and care for I can’t tell you the mixed emotions I get. On one hand I’m like WTF she’s old enough to take care of herself. Shit I had no one to take me and I cared for myself. And then on the other hand, makes me so effin sad I never had someone care for me like that (male figurewise)
Oh well

Yup. I understand. Sometimes, you have to swallow the knee-jerk resentment that pops up & be happy that others do not have to endure what you did.
What matters is - you're not alone. We can rise above the hurts. ❤️
