I had a good relationship with my dad, but he passed when I was 21. I’ve now been alive longer without a father than with one. He had major faults: racist, homophobic, and started going Baptist when he got cancer. If he had survived it, I think that downfall would have progressed and he’d be a fucking Maggot by now. I don’t think he’d get along well with his pansexual son, bisexual DIL and transgender grandkids. So, and this is not a good feeling, I’m a little appreciative of the fact the relationship ended when it was still good. But I’m haunted by what it would have been like if he survived. Like I said, we had a really good relationship. He taught me all kinds of outdoorsman skills, taught me how to keep family close, and how to honor my word. I don’t know if I could have handled if he survived and continued along that path.
My mom always lived for herself and was abusive. I still flinch when someone touches my face because she hit us so much. I cut ties on my wedding day almost 10 years ago and am much happier and healthier.
They both taught me how not to parent and as long as I keep in mind how their words and actions made me feel, I know how to be a good dad to my kids. I’m not going to say they did me a favor there, but I do rely on that lesson to guide me.
The Bobbie from Delaware, USA!
Delaware is a small state on the Delaware River on the east coast of the United States, just south of Philadelphia and across the bay from New Jersey. For the comic fans, Gotham is somewhere near Cape May, NJ and Metropolis is near Lewis, DE.
Another great treat from this area is scrapple. Don’t look it up before you eat it. It’s deliciously horrifying!
I want to live in an area that has a great music scene. It has to be clean and pleasant with plenty of community engagement and friendly people. I have to be able to afford a home, food, healthcare, and some things that I and the family just want. I don’t want to be scared for myself or my transgender kids, or my wife. I don’t want to be scared of the government or the people who wanted this version of it.
Basically, I want to live in United States that was promised to me when I was a kid. No matter where it is.

Bonus! It’s an actual radio station :)
Because men run entertainment, we can make sure men are making it. Because men are making it, their Mary sue stories are the ones that get released.
That’s how it happens, in my opinion, but I don’t get how more men aren’t completely fucking bored looking at it and listening to it! Seriously, as a middle aged, acerbic, bearded white man, I’m sick of seeing characters that only I can relate to. It’s not a compelling character anymore. I want different characters with different stories!
I would move the family to my true home back in the NJ Pine Barrens. We would have a a small log cabin on a remote dirt road and I would work as a forest ranger in Belleplain State Forest. We would have enough land to grow some of our food and few unwelcome intrusions into our life.
During the day, I’d be the steward of an amazing place that holds the vast majority of my few good childhood memories and at night, relax in the light and warmth of a campfire, then sleep with only the sounds of crickets and the odd whippoorwill. I would hike, explore abandoned towns, fish, shoot my bow, make my arrows and maybe even a bow one day, canoe, and camp.
When I think about this, usually it’s not such a clear plan. It comes to me a flashes of feelings, images, sounds and scents. Contentment, the smell of a bed of pine needles after a rain, the white sand tainted grey with the remnants of old forest fires, the snap of picking a fresh blueberry or the taste of a teaberry leaf.
I guess my best life is one out of the main world and inside my own, smaller one.
