Hi Brett! Thank you very much for continuing to give of yourself, your time, and your efforts. We sincerely appreciate everything you share with us and you! Could I please ask you how the trio would step in/helps/or at the very least, be present if in a person who is dealing with family stuff and getting tired… Not to pry or assume I/we know everything you’ve experience to date, but the things that you have shared with us so far had me nodding in solidarity because I’m trying to navigate similar stuff - esp. when it comes to my dad😞😓
Or, maybe they wouldn’t do anything because they’d find that too heavy or would think you’re exaggerating/not take it as seriously?. That’s been my experience so far
Hi my sweet friend. First, let me say that I understand what you're going through. I mean, based on everything you've written above anyway. And I'm sorry that you've had to experience something similar to myself - because it really fucking sucks. And it's not easy. But I commend you for standing strong. You're not alone, okay?
As for how the Daddies in The Trio help you navigate things...I can safely say that, while each of them would have their own approach, they would also go at your pace. Out of Andy, Curtis, or Ari, there isn't one of them who would push you too far, too fast.
Your safety and mental health come first in their minds. And they would be there to listen without judgement and then hold you while you cried. If you decided at some point that you wanted to reconnect with your father then they would support that - but they would also put their foot down if they thought it was a bad idea. They would be cognizant of your trauma and not want you to overdo it.
And if you were to meet in person, they would absolutely be there. Even if it meant sitting in another booth or at another table so that you had some privacy. But first they would introduce themselves to make their presence known. Their message would be clear:
Attempt to mess with this woman and you'll have me to deal with, sir.
And the moment the encounter was over or you gave the agreed upon signal for a rescue, they would have you out of there immediately. They wouldn't force you to rehash your discussion either. Instead they would simply wait until you were ready to share. And if you needed to cry...
You could count on any one of them to let you curl up in their lap and simply let the tears flow. Because you're not alone. Not anymore.
Andy would rock you in his arms while you let the grief wash over you. Ari would whisper gentle affirmations and words of love as you sobbed. And Curtis would sweetly wipe your tears away with one hand while he rubbed your back with the other.
There would be no shortage or support of encouragement with any of these men. Each would be proud to be in your corner.
Hopefully that answers your question, my darling. Proud of you for being as strong as you are. And please don't ever hesitate to reach out if you need to talk. I'm not sure what kind of support system you have in place, but please count me in too. (But only if you want.)
