Didn’t realize how important this was for my own fatherhood journey until I did it. That resentment I had for him used to eat me up inside. But the dopest thing about forgiving my Dad for being wack is watching him observe and applaud me for how dope I am with my kids in-spite of his poor example. As men, we were finally able to sit down and discuss his short comings in developing the bond I wanted and knew we could have, and although it didn’t justify all of his actions (or lack there of) I got a better understanding of who he was at the time. We’ve both grown a lot since then and now I have more control over what happens in our relationship which has made us pretty tight. I’m grateful for that. It took years for us to get here and ironically it also took my lead.
Definitely one of the hardest things I ever did but as most hard things we have to do as men...it was worth it.
My son will NEVER know that type of pain.
Forgive your dad bro. Do it for YOU.
