I agree, he was a really well written and engaging character. The 2nd game us divisive, some people that played it LOVE Abbie. From what I've read and clips of the game, she won't work for me. I also can't see people tuning in for a show about someone new, especially given her actions, AND given s2 was weak. Craig Mazin is brilliant so I was expecting a well crafted S2... I don't know why he did so badly
Thanks mate I re edited my comment to put it all back incase it's helpful. And absolutely, gender can make a big difference to how a child is treated. It is kinda good that you don't know what you've missed. I get what you mean about childhood still haunting you, it's really hard to unlearn things we learned back then. Therapy can really help, it can change how we think... it's about self development not things being wrong with us
Thanks shades, didn't click about that. Really appreciate you pointing it out.
You're welcome we got you
Absolutely
Yep the control is a massive part of the abuse, they want a captive. You deserved better
Yay! Glad you're here lemmy daddy 😊
These are really valid questions! I'm a fiercely pro dad woman, and I'll try to answer. IME people's relationship with their dad tends to be different to their mom, they're two different roles and two different people. IME people tend to go to dad for practical stuff (financial advice, DIY, moving things etc) and mom for home based practical and lengthy emotional discussions. Dad will also do emotional stuff, but often different style eg pep talks. For protection stuff, IME people go to dad.
Yes I love and miss my dad very much. A good person accepts mistakes, no matter what their role. And you can always go to a good parent cos they're always safe.
I'm sorry you didnt get the dad all children deserve. Have you found !dadforaminute@lemmy.world People post when they need dad style advice or a hug.
Thanks otp, unfortunately I struggle to read text on lemmy coloured backgrounds. Writing is also just going to unavoidably foil me sometimes. Please bear in mind, the way written language developed is neurotypical, and so not how my brain is wired. If everyone's brain was wired like me, written language would have developed differently. It isn't as simple as learning linguistic rules... if it was, I'd have done that years ago.
It's my favourite community! The dads here can't do enough for you, they're always here with fatherly advice, big hugs and kind words. They're 100% LGBT positive as well, and the mod is really inclusive. Speaking to other people, there's many posters that get a lot from reading the posts, they just don't want to open up themselves. Here just existing REALLY helps people.
Triceratops. Brilliant
