Talking to people is totally hard, especially about hard stuff. But I've found that "I'm listening" comments tend to mean the most, because someone cares enough to tell me they're there.

Fandom totally got me through the roughest patches...well. The fic, heh. Fandom is a mixed bag lol.

I'm in the process of building a non profit to help emotionally support other parents, so I'm moving back in here in order to get back in the habit of blogging and essays, and provide something for the search engines to find things for other parents to read in the meantime. It's nice to be here, even if it's a very small audience :)
