oh, my dear child, do not cry, do not whimper, do not even flinch fret not the fire isn't coming, fret not, the earth is still revolving, fret not, your father will die one day.

side note; if you're in an abusive relationship do seek help, remember if people are against you, I'll be the one who is standing besides you.
