Hey @Maroon_Elephant nice to meet you 👋 I've just been reading through your thread and wanted to see how you're feeling today?
Sorry to hear about what happened with your dad. I'm glad you received an apology because it's never okay to use violence. I want to acknowledge that receiving an apology from someone who made you feel angry, hurt, or afraid can be confusing.
It's good to hear you're going to see a counsellor - let us know how you go with it if you want to 😊 Speaking to a counsellor and opening up about personal stuff can be pretty emotional during and afterwards.
So if you feel heavy after today and need someone to chat to, it could be worth calling 1800 RESPECT (a domestic and family violence support service) to speak to one of their counsellors.
The number is 1800 737 732, and they also have online counselling, which you can read more about here.
I hope you're doing okay today, and know that the community is here if you need to get some things off your chest. We're going to send you an email today as well, so take a look when you have free time ✉️ 🙂
