Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Mine was an alcoholic and died when I was 19 because of it, but had already been kicked out the house for a few years prior. He was an okay dad I guess in as much that he never hit or yelled at me and tried to get me things I wanted, he was just always drunk. I know he was a shitty husband to my mom. They fought a lot.

I wish I had the chance to have an adult relationship with my dad.

Alcohol can be so destructive and it's helpless watching someone drink. It's a shame you never got the chance with him
