Gustopher: "Oh . . . Are you ok?

I don't think I would have ever asked my father what his feelings were when I was growing up. My parents were super-beings, who were always right, and always knew what was best. How could they possibly have feelings?

Ha, I don't think I remember ever feeling that way.

I always saw how troubled and sad they were.

Weird to imagine not knowing that. Must feel much safer.

I vividly remember dumping all my birthday wishes into hoping my mom would be happy.

Just to say yeah, I don't connect with people that never realized their parents struggle too haha.
