Glad to have you!

Ah thought not thanks Blaze

Its a good idea but I don’t think we can do that on lemmy? I don’t want to seperate us too much but it’s something to consider

Thanks Amazing Awesome and I know you weren’t being remotely mean. We’ve had to be women only because we’ve had so much abuse from the manosphere. We really appreciate nice men though, and I know you were just contributing.

Thanks mate I re edited my comment to put it all back incase it’s helpful. And absolutely, gender can make a big difference to how a child is treated. It is kinda good that you don’t know what you’ve missed. I get what you mean about childhood still haunting you, it’s really hard to unlearn things we learned back then. Therapy can really help, it can change how we think… it’s about self development not things being wrong with us

Thanks shades, didn’t click about that. Really appreciate you pointing it out.

These are really valid questions! I’m a fiercely pro dad woman, and I’ll try to answer. IME people’s relationship with their dad tends to be different to their mom, they’re two different roles and two different people. IME people tend to go to dad for practical stuff (financial advice, DIY, moving things etc) and mom for home based practical and lengthy emotional discussions. Dad will also do emotional stuff, but often different style eg pep talks. For protection stuff, IME people go to dad.

Yes I love and miss my dad very much. A good person accepts mistakes, no matter what their role. And you can always go to a good parent cos they’re always safe.

I’m sorry you didnt get the dad all children deserve. Have you found !dadforaminute@lemmy.world People post when they need dad style advice or a hug.

Thanks otp, unfortunately I struggle to read text on lemmy coloured backgrounds. Writing is also just going to unavoidably foil me sometimes. Please bear in mind, the way written language developed is neurotypical, and so not how my brain is wired. If everyone’s brain was wired like me, written language would have developed differently. It isn’t as simple as learning linguistic rules… if it was, I’d have done that years ago.

Yep I’m neurodiverse I do that sometimes. Please don’t comment on my symptoms in future, it isn’t very nice for me. Thanks for understanding ♥️

Thankyou for this beautiful gift

I support your choice, custard cream is a solid decision. However I would ask you to consider bourbons
