One incident, several months ago, can't possibly define my parenting skills for a lifetime can it? I understand that the version of myself who did not come to this world became the sort of father I was told by my brothers that mine could be, distant, hard to please, and quick to strike when he was angry. ( TW: Past abuse, prostitution, theft in comments )

As it stands, I've become someone to avoid, seemingly to fear, according to my son's friend. Fleur, you are nothing if you are not perceptive and caring and loyal as a friend, and gave me a lot to consider lately. Thank you for it. Now, the task becomes pulling myself out of this rut, regaining my son's trust, somehow, and trying to determine what it is with my daughter that is so awful SHE won't speak of it.

Does anyone have advice for how to start? Or how to unravel the mistakes you've made along with someone else's from another world? There are parents of teenagers who were unexpected on this board still, yes?

Oh, this will be fun. A whole new universe to play with. And only three people dead so far.

I hope I don't lose my touch, I have a reputation to uphold.
