big rec on doing the work as the emotionally mature child to reunite the family
okay maybe it will take 10+ years and another divorce for communication to reemerge
but im getting my dad to pick up the dining table he made for our family years ago (from my mom's friend's house because she moved out of her house and into an apartment) and now I get to have this heirloom piece that no one else has room for !
^ a metaphor? yeah :')
