Hello Cosplay Betty, I grew up with an alcoholic father as well. My mom went on to remarry. You're brave for moving away. Some people tend to struggle with moving on. Sorry to hear about your father passing away. Creativity comes when you're open, vulnerable, open minded, patient, and especially when you are present. Creativity is like the wind as it comes and goes. Love your style. I love cosplay. I'm glad you are here, Betty.
