We're best mates.
I think it was hard, though, at the start, to be honest.
When we first started to try and build a relationship, what I did was I just bought her things.
I said, I bought you this.
Love me.
And I felt like I started to talk to my therapist about it.
I was trying to buy the love or just buy things to make her love me without organically feeling loved.
And then I'll say, I'm going to stop that.
If I'm going to buy something, it's because I want to, not because I want her to love me in a moment.
I don't want a hit of dopamine from her.
I want it to feel organic.
And I just kept working through all these things I needed to go through to be able to learn how it feels to receive love as a daughter.
And I did.
And now it's incredible.
It generally is.
No.
So Vinnie's had a really hard road over the last few years, but now she's living an independent living, and I'm really happy for her.
I generally am.
She's thriving.
She doesn't want to see me that often because she's too busy with her housemate, having the best time of her life.
