Left me a voicemail, sounding drunk.

Called back and left another, literally 5mins later, to say that I need to stop playing games and call him back

Needless to say, I did not call back lol

I assume he was calling because my birthday is this coming week, but like, why choose to call this year?

No one in the family has said anything for a couple now. Idk if he was just so out of it that he forgot this detail, or what.

I might’ve actually reached back out to see if everything was ok, if he didn’t try to sound so threatening in the second message. It just reminded me why I cut them off, in the first place.

oh man.

well, I for one am proud of you for putting yourself and your wellness, mental/emotional included, first.

and happy early cake day; congrats in advance on leveling up again!

Nightsail: that’s very sweet of you to say, thank you

Ngl, it was tough for a minute there. The trauma was nipping at my heels. Felt like I’d have call him back, even though I didn’t want to, or I’d be in for it later Plus, family guilt, you know.

And judging by his message, that was what he was going for. Good riddance.

IN BETTER NEWS, I’m going to make a drive to meet a puppy tomorrow.

I’ve been looking for a second for ages, and even though the timing could’ve been better, I think it’s super important to pursue, the mental health of Apollo and myself

again... very proud of you.
