Thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I'm glad that the past hasn't been able to define your tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing something very real, it’s beautifully written. So refreshing and much needed to hear different accounts of fathering.

This is a beautifully honest post that felt so poignant to me as someone who doesn't know their father. Thank you for sharing, and for learning in and being willing to grow as a parent. I know from a daughter's perspective your children will thank you for this and appreciate the effort. X

This is so good. I love the unveiled honesty. You sound like a great dad. Specifically, because you decided to be intentional and to change (but not change the important things about yourself) based on the feedback you were getting. I think that's rare, good on you, dad.
