MT, glad you have the dialogue with him. Many of us sort of settle into isolated silence.
I thought "Creation Story" was a fairly clever description. So many here wander through the "Why, Why, Why" desert for years, but never really find anything. Sometimes an interesting to visit but no place to live.
Yesterday one of my kids was asking if I "regretted" meeting [their] mom. Heard my heart telling them I had no regrets. Wish she were well now, but would not have likely done anything different.
Best to you. Try not to mind the folks who find your style odd [to them]. Folks have to get through this stuff anyway they can, and most generally are doing the best they can.
