A Cleverly Named But Not Well Hidden Journal - R'dal - 27.Apr.21
742.04.27
I'm worried about my dad. I haven't seen him like this in years, not since Katila and when I was little. I don't know what made him sober up then but it was nice. He put effort into getting to know my siblings and me and trying to stay out of trouble. I wonder what I can do to help him now? I miss Mardarian too but I didn't spiral out of control.
Is that because I never liked alcohol? Dad said it used to numb the pain of losing his mate so maybe that's what he's doing now as well.
Maybe it's also because I've had F'drel staying with me. (Hi, F'drel, if you find this! You're awesome <3) He's been a great help with just letting me snuggle and cry if I needed to and not asking questions. He even listened to stories about my childhood and adventures I would take the sibs on. I think Miri liked those, I hope F'drel did as well. I feel like a burden to him and I'm not sure how I'll ever repay his kindness.
I need to figure out how to help dad and how to show F'drel how much he means to me as well. (F'drel, if you have any ideas, let me know, please!)
