I’m not asking to create drama but rather out of genuine curiosity. I will give big hugs to anyone who says their family is unsupportive. Mine is very much supportive and love me no matter what.

    My dad died but was more supportive than I ever knew. He would never initiate dialog, but anytime I ever asked for any advice or a situation I was going through, he’d help me work through it. No matter how embarrassing or wild. My only regret is not opening up dialogue earlier. I really didn’t start talking to my dad as a friend until I was well into my 20s. I always had the elder respect to my dad and never thought until later, that he could be my best friend, too.
