Some Dad’s are amazing. Some Dad’s are absent. Then there is mine…

This is part 2 (of 2) of the Dad Storytime episodes. If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, flick back to listen to that.

This ‘double feature’ episode is not for the faint-hearted… or maybe even the strong-hearted. Big trigger warnings all over this: mentions of suicide, severe mental illness, verbal, emotional & sexual abuse (no, that one is not my Dad but someone else mentioned), coercive control, intergenerational trauma & racism.

I think Ep.2 is better than Ep.1, but you have to listen to Ep.1 to set up the context for Ep.2! The story flows from it. I just regret how fast I was speaking & how much I packed into Ep.1, but couldn’t bring myself to re-record it, as it is so damn triggering for me. 

I’m a lot more organised this time than I was for my Redhead Gene episode, however I’m learning as I go & Ep.2 is considerably more measured. 

So! Buckle up, pour yourself a drink & enjoy the Storytime!
