AS A CHILD YOU WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNCONTROLLED EMOTIONS OF YOUR PARENTS! THEY WERE THE G-D GROWN-UPS!
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am not yelling at you all. I am yelling at the world. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. Also? PUPPIES..
I will go find pictures.
Everyone gets the magic blankets and a lap to lay down in so your hair can be smoothed while soothing coos are made in your general direction. The stuff you should have gotten as kids.

Please know I worry myself sick that the times I have lost it with mac have scarred him for life. This is why you all sharing with us is so important and probably more important than us wrapping you all in love. There is so much strength in you sharing. There is power in you all letting it out. It helps countless others and you are heroes.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I want to wrap you all in warm emotionally safe comfort blankets.
This. Aims, I'm sorry you had a rough night.
We're headed for the hospital in a few minutes. I am so damn hungry.

I also wanted to hide the reaction from Emeline, because she loves her grandparents and I don't want to make her afraid of them. I don't know how or if I even should address that past with her when she's older. Hmmmm ... that's an interesting thought.
I hope you do. I think too many families keep secrets. And it's one thing to not tell her as a kid, or to be trying not to let your relationship past affect her relationship with them, but I think knowing things about your parents like that helps you understand them, and can help make sense of tensions and undercurrents you might've been aware of but not understanding, as a kid.
