Story time:

I have been literal my whole life like sometimes I just don't get the joke or sarcasm

• Grandma dancing to Scratch my Back
• Scratch My Back - Slim Harpo

It was always black or white, no maybes

• Its not all or nothing
• I want to change this have no clue how…

Lyric Review:

My dads favorite song:

• Longest song ever: 7.17
• Cause I Love You - Lenny Williams

Story of My Dads

Inconsistent but he loved us even when he didn't say it

His death

• TikTok that said sometimes people pass away before their time because the people they love need their help from the other side. I believe that
  • I can see that now

How my dads inconsistency impacted me:

• Unhealthy attachment

Coping Mechanism:

• If I know everything then I know what will happen, WRONG
• I learned to "predict what would happen" to avoid hurt

My Bonus Dads

My coping mechanism are likely manipulation

As and adult how does that show up?

• In friendships or relationships.
• Blocking people and disassociating is my way of getting over it

How do I fix this?

• Its not all or nothing
  • How do you detach
