Most likely. It's an unorthodox set of circumstances.

Put overly simply, I was raised to be my grandfather's heir, which to him meant excelling in only one area of study. Other disciplines were negligible, even discouraged. Someone I know once compared it to a monarch bringing up their successor, and I suppose that's apt.

"Unraveling deception to find the truth" — that's what was prioritized for me.

Not much of a childhood then, huh? I suppose that's kind of relatable.

Are you carrying on with the whole grandfather's heir thing here, or are you taking a bit of time off for yourself? Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but this could be a good opportunity to figure out what kind of a person you want to be on your own terms.

It's interesting. Everyone I've told about it has had precisely that same reaction.

It's undeniable that his methods were...sometimes questionable. He kept me from seeing my mother when she was dying, and he actively discouraged me from making and maintaining friendships. Our work came first, and if it was for work, there's nothing he wouldn't have given me. It was only everything else that went by the wayside.

But I don't necessarily disagree with what he raised me to be, or the person he made me into. So...it's been more difficult than it sounds. Exploring other avenues.
