WHAT.
After the Super Bowl, I ended up having a very honest, emotional, DRUNK conversation with my dad’s girlfriend while my dad socialized with party guests. It was incredibly bizarre, and not at all the kind of situation where I expected to have a serious conversation, but I’m glad it happened and it was good and I needed it and I learned a lot of things about my dad that I never knew.
It was also pretty great to discover that there was someone out there who could see exactly what I have been going through since the age of five. Someone who knows how I’m feeling without me having to say it, someone who just gets it. But the fact that it’s my dad’s girlfriend, of all people, is so strange to me and I feel like it should just not be that way.
Regardless, I feel good about it.
