Yeah? Hmmm.
My childhood was pretty wholesome like that, there was even a lab in the picture. Although, even though I say that, there was always an undercurrent of something being wrong, my parents were too young, too inexperienced, too emotional, there was their nasty divorce, my dad's jackassery and narcissism, etc
Nicky sets impossible standards when it comes to wholesomeness and having a charmed life. Wholesomeness can have its downside too. I think richey's sister said that his issues stemmed from his childhood having been too good and not being able to adjust to adult life.
Yeah, right after I wrote that I thought of someone - lets just call him Dougal for the sake of simplicity - who had a happy, wholesome upbringing that I'm often jealous of, but who isn't at all well-equipped to deal with adversity. He is strong and confident when things go well but when they're not he is helpless and lost. I'm more resilient although I appear weaker.
Anyway, yes, Nicky seems to have a very blessed life. James and Nicky stayed sane throughout it all.
Did you have a lab when you were little or was that your grandma? I remember you saying your grandma had a lab... I miss my beloved doggo so much
I've been looking around shelters to adopt a dog, but I didn't connect with any of them. There were some sweet doggos but no labs. I think I need the happiness and silliness of a labrador in my life!
