Yeah, because I feel like for me, you know, I... I didn't feel that safe when I was younger. You know, I really didn't. I really, really didn't. And I felt like I should probably have a future where my kids feel I want to be thoughtful about the words because, you know, my mum is still alive and she did the very best she could with what she had, which is all any parent can do.
