Hello David, I live in the U.S. and I’m so glad I found the Stand Alone podcast and your vocal experiences with your daughters and son. I have and continue to be estranged from my daughters from a divorce that ended over 8 years ago. To this day I don’t hear from them. All I have been able to tell my youngest daughter is you have my number and my door will always be open to both of them. Thank you for sharing, listening has been an educational emotional experience.
