one cannot hit pause on family responsibilities. It cannot be done without inflicting genuine damage. And genuine damage I did inflict! All while pretending to play a loving, attentive partner and dad on a TV show that would be advertised on buses that would drive by and splash my wife, who’d be pushing a double buggy while pregnant to go buy nappies and toilet paper for me and my children to use as part of our respective shitting processes. I luxuriate in shame.
