And thank you for reading and leaving a note! I'm starting to think relatability is its own life force, and seeing you say that just gave me a little hit of it today 🥹

This is a classy piece of writing. Clever and emotional and distant and recognisable. Thanks Becca.

I’ll read anything titled Daddy Issues, and this tugged in all the right and wrong ways. Thank you. I never met my biological father but I’ve spent the last ten years opening to that X in me that was him. And like you so beautifully expressed, “in understanding them — the full, complicated, messy, human version of them — feels like unlocking something in herself. A tether, a breadcrumb, a mirror — never quite the answer though, simply just a hint.” ❤️
