@Nimthiriel I'm inside a lot π and on a constant rotation of antihistamines

My partner and our daughter are checking out the Christmas lights around town before bed. #Audhd kiddo and I are curled up in bed because of irrational fear.
It's that irrational fear I hate and it hurts knowing that it has its grips on my son. And I'm sad because we miss out. I miss out. I feel guilty sometimes for feeling that but it's there.
But he's safe, and almost asleep and not #anxious because he's not in a situation that makes him so and that's what matters.
@DyDave my all time fav song
Snuggled up with #Audhd kiddo. He's at peace tonight, he's not fighting the sleep for once.
@Jess yeah I can relate to that. There's not a lot of nice I want to say to Dad, so my mouth has been shut apart from daily trivialities when called for. I think I do that more for Mum than for me though. Keep her happy.
@silent_dystopia yes, I think I have somewhat grieved the loss of my dad as I knew him already. Maybe this is why I feel this way?
I just don't know how to feel about it. He's my dad but he also sucks. He wasn't a great father, if he could have pretended he wasn't a dad, he would have. He spoke frequently of how much he hated mum and wanted a divorce but couldn't afford it (& seeing her not cope over his withering away makes me angry from that). But I don't think I should feel nothing.
My dad is not a nice person, and on top of that, he fell down the Q-hole and every conspiracy train there was.
He's dying, slowly. He's still walking and talking but he's skin and bone, not eating, sleeping a lot. All the things I saw happen with my grandfolks in the months leading up to their own deaths. He has pulmonary fibrosis and was given 2-5 years, that was 3 years ago. He's forsaken treatments (evil pharma) and stopped seeing doctors earlier this year after a blood cancer scare.
@TrishaGreenie great choices!
@singlemaltgirl Some people just really are that selfish and it's harder to reserve judgement when you know more of the story.
Single parents have all of my admiration.
@singlemaltgirl no. It's hard to feel empathy for people like that.
Off to my first physio-ordered hydrotherapy appointment for my knee. I am not a morning person (and almost 7 years of having kids hasn't managed to change that). Unfortunately the tiredness isn't diminishing the #anxiety one feels at being in a swimsuit.
