My adopted aunt posted her Father's Day post on the fb this weekend and it's just been eating at me all week. She's so rich she only remembers me when she feels like it, iykyk.

But, I don't care about that. It's what she decided to post.

A big ol' Happy Father's Day post to all the fathers she's known in her life! Including the man who coerced my teen mom into giving me up for a closed adoption because I was special needs and could get extra benefits, (which they ended up using on themselves and their RV camping trips, they used to tell everyone We're the Snowbirds with kids! Think about that. We were nothing but accessories to these people,) before changing my name entirely so she could never find me. He also beat the absolute spit out of us. Oh, I forgot, almost, I used to have an adopted brother. But this man drove him to you-know-what, only a couple years ago. Our abuser has been dead for over eight years, now, and I'm the only one left, my a-brother made it four years before, yeah....

Idk, it's just. after everything that's happened, I just want to scream at this lady. That's not my dad. I never got to meet my dad, but.... I know a little bit about him, now. My dad was a paleontology drop-out who got stuck in California, my dad studied rocks and made music, my dad was a bead artist, my dad was.... a helluva lot cooler than you.

I want to scream at this lady. But, she's up in the clouds. So is her age.... I've always wanted to tell her what her BIL used to do to us kids. But, idk. I feel like if I ever mention any of that, then the good will is over, and what's remaining of my adopted family, just her and a couple other people, will just.... forget about me.

I guess I'll just get it out here, instead.

I'm not being entirely serious here, I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up, but just some food for thought. I think it was almost a year and a half between the two endings of NGE, though I might be wrong on the exact time. It was definitely more than a year, though.

I got the sweater that says "You Go, Girl" over a year ago. From Glitch. It's one of my favorite things to wear. It feels strange to see so many people so... Anti-trans about Jax. Gross, even. I'm worried it's just gonna get worse in a couple days, ugh.
