Daddy a professional in another agency made a shit decision on one of my cases that put children at massive risk. It's awful but the damage is done.

I've done loads to undo the damage and I've really helped! I've managed to get other agencies involved and now they're all listening to how dangerous things are for the kids and there's loads being done to protect them. I've worked so hard on it, I've fought so hard for them. Are you proud of me?

Wow, son, to say I'm proud is an understatement. What you became and what you're doing for others far exceeds everything I was hoping for you to be one day. I'm lucky you're my son.

Sorry girl. I love you whatever gender you turn out to be. It's actually mom here, also.

Haha sorry mom

That's ok, the tendency to misgender each other runs in the family - remember uncle Jane? She always got all genders mixed up. But it's a loving family at the least.

100%. See you tomorrow for family dinner!

I always knew you'd be there to look out for people who couldn't look out for themselves. I'm so glad I helped raise such a caring, considerate and hard working woman.

I really hope you're proud of what you're doing, and who you are, because I sure am.

Wonderful job, darling.

-Dad

Daddy I honestly teared up reading it thank you so much 💗

[–] AceSLive@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

On a personal note - I'm just a reflection of what you're doing. I'm pointing out what you already do for the world. I'd love it if you could really appreciate it in yourself, and trust that you're doing the right thing. You're a wonderful person and I'm glad you're helping some of the more vulnerable people out there who too often don't have their own voices, or ways to solve their own troubles. Good on you

Just keep spreading love, I hope the lives you saved would be inspired to follow your steps. Results do not matter, but hard work does, but here even the result is great. Extremely proud of you.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You are always free to come back, but I do not want you to be tethered anywhere.
