I won’t get into it, otherwise it’ll be a super long post as to the circumstances and why I feel I’m not worthy of the compliments.
Same compliment. Two different young people. More than two decades apart.
“I wish you would’ve been my dad” – A bittersweet compliment that both melted and then scorched my heart. I’m not worthy of being anyone’s father. They only had access to me for brief moments, which I was able to give them my full focus.
The more I’m around the same person, the less available I become. It’s part of my mental condition I have no control over – believe me, I’ve tried for over two decades.
