Very strict, but loving. My father was a minister.

@VioletShadows such is the nature of church families many times. I dated a girl who was the daughter of a preacher, you can imagine their horror when they realized their daughter was dating a goth

@VioletShadows yikes. They’d be terrified

@Syktur They understood me on some levels really well, but easily threatened by what they didn't and harsh in their reactions.
