Like who's in the hospital?
I mean, honestly, I thought my mom was in the hospital.
But it's like word vomit.
He's just like, Elizabeth, I'm leaving the church.
I'm divorcing your mother and I'm gay.
Like a run-on sentence.
Sorry, what'd you say?
And he just like kept going and going and going.
All I could think to say at the end was, well...
Yeah, he'll just never stop being my dad.
And actually, over the years, it's not that my dad and I weren't ever close, but it was almost like because I was so close with my mom, I'd call my mom and my dad would be in the background.
So I didn't necessarily feel like I needed to call my dad because he was like next to my mom.
Or like if I went to my parents' house, I'd mostly be there to like hang out with my mom and my dad would be in and out and be like, oh, hi, dad.
