I'm not really sure where to start, it's a long story...

I guess the basics first.
Over the last few years, I've gained abilities which I gradually found out was from non-human heritage I have.
I'm half-demon, gained through my estranged biological father I didn't originally know of and I guess, I have a lot of trauma I've been trying to work through regarding him on it's own.

Then some months ago, there was a ... really strange event, that somehow gave me access to a full demon form which I struggled to control. I didn't react too well to any of this. I shut myself away from everyone, even my partner, fearing I was going to hurt them, before eventually running off into the forest in the mountains in an attempt to seclude myself.
Lucky for me, my partner is really stubborn when he wants to help someone. He was able to talk me round and bring me back, but the whole event really took a toll on me, both physically and psychologically.
I'm just... struggling... accepting the whole half-demon thing. It's left me having to re-build my confidence in everything and left me feeling rather down on myself, which isn't like me.

I just... want to be okay with who I am. I don't want to have to fear myself.
