A few weeks ago my 14 year old daughter told me she was bisexual. I hugged her and told her thank you for telling me.
Today I wished her a happy #bivisibilityday. She laughed and thanked me.
Love your kids for who they are.

Today I said my goodbyes to my daughter, dropping her off at her first year at boarding school.
I am sad. My house will be empty. I'll be more alone than ever. But I'll work through it.
One foot in front of the other.
I made her a playlist.

Music Friday! The return.
I've listened to AC/DC for over 40 years. While I respect Brian Johnson, I am more of a fan of the Bon Scot years.
For me, the greatest album they put out was the live If You Want Blood, You've Got it.
This is that concert. Amazing to see.

New review on Goodreads.
Curious though, this review reads the same as the numerous AI generated marketing scam emails I get every day. Makes me wonder if it is genuine.

Father's day with no father left to celebrate. I miss you dad.
Father's day without my girl, she's with her mom, but she stopped by yesterday to drop some things off. Still sad, though.
Spent the day sleeping in, gardening and starting the marvel universe movies.
Just another day alone.

Icy hot
The grip on my neck
Cold water trickles
Down my shoulders
Into my chest
Grips my heart
A finger into my belly
It spreads
Seizing
Freezing
My guts
My head wants to
Split open
And swallow all

More music Friday!
Excellent progressive doom metal.
These guys were my first #sober concert after treatment. I was so nervous I must have drank 3 pots of coffee that day. But the venue was accommodating and made me coffee, even though it was a small bar.

This is a validating study. I do hope the AMA recognizes that #CPTSD should be in the DSM. Maybe then more diagnoses can happen, support would be more widely available, and treatment more effective.

I just want to share my book. I don't promote enough.
It's won 7 awards now, with multiple runner-ups and honourable mentions.

The #narcissist 's lies.
To maintain their false self-image, someone with #NPD will lie often to maintain that image. It's not pathological, it's with intent and forethought.
When they fear exposure, the lies will become more blatant and obvious, even when confronted with evidence to the contrary
