    I find the fact that both of my parents are dead to be a huge barrier to a healthy relationship. At this point we really have stopped communicating. /s (not really though, it is just a fact.)

      I wonder if Graveyard Counselling is a thing—it has to be?!

      Edit: i feel sometimes (not sadly but not exactly gleefully either) this is the only thing that could ever work with my own. She’s too broken for now and I gotta fix me

      Edit: this idea has legs…what if neither of you have to be dead either 🤔 What if the simulation/dress rehearsel is sufficient for some cases? Like this is it, if we can’t budge this will be the next time we attend to one another

          I have emphatically not included them and I will clarify this has nothing to do with parapsychology bullshit. This is all very real and grounded in physical relaity and recognition of the poignancy of time’s finiteness and the limits of dysfunction tolerated by self-respecting people
