My dead dad’s journal
I feel like I could only really understand my parents when I became a parent myself. All the fucked up stuff they did to themselves and each other (and sometimes to me), all the life lessons they tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to teach me - I&#x27;m doing some version of it, and it now makes more sense since I&#x27;m now where they were back then. I suspect it&#x27;ll only fully make sense once I become a grandparent.
