Down to a sunless sea: Episode 7: Friendship Part 1

Getting Better Acquainted

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues It’s important to keep in mind that the story of my relationship with my dad is only one part of his life. It’s only one of the ways he has been a father: the context of my childhood has been very different from the context of my siblings’ childhoods. While he was retired for most of my life, for the rest of my siblings, he was someone who went out to work. This episode is about friendship, parenting, love and care.
