12. Scott & KJ and Transitions of a Father and Son

from Menfolk Journeys · host Chris Foster

Is pride and love for our children unconditional? Do we - at our core, as parents - want our children to be happy and proud of their most authentic selves?We know that over the entire history of human culture, from Gallelio to the Suffragettes to Martin Luther King, Jr., people have changed social norms. So why wouldn't social norms about gender, roles, expectations, and how some people see themselves change, too? And it is people, folks who have family, who change these norms.This is an amazing conversation with both a father and his young adult child, and the family transition of when a dad's daughter becomes a son.I hope you listen to this conversation with an open heart and a wide mind. This is not a political or social conversation. This is a conversation about how the transition illustrated the joy and deep love that has been in their relationship all along.This is a brave, bold, beautiful conversation about the relationship between a father and his child.Support the show
