My dad used to be addicted to playing chess. We played together frequently for years. I was never very good at it.

I won against my dad twice out of hundreds of games played. I honestly don't know how, but I was proud of myself for years.

I haven't played chess is well over 20 years at this point. I'm just completely disinterested in it.

Tl;Dr, I'm in this picture and don't like it.

I'm with you on that one. I'm still grappling with attempting to be their good son but also trying to accept myself for who I am right now.

Good luck, my Fedifriend. Take things one step at a time. You aren't alone.
