Dear Son, I Am Not Your Father | A Conversation w/ Lamont Moore | DSP Ep 21

Dear Son, I am not your father. I’m sure most of us have witnessed this conclusion being sensationalized on a late 90s midday talk show, but can you really put yourself in the shoes of a son hearing this for the first time at the age of 27? I’ve tried, but my imagination doesn’t roam that freely. Unfortunately, this was (and is) the reality for my conversation counterpart, Lamont Moore, on this episode. Several thoughts immediately ran through my head while trying to process the information in real time, but I simply couldn’t imagine what kind of man I’d be today if this were my truth.Growing up in Shreveport, LA, Lamont was the default role model for his two younger brothers. He resented the role at times but understood the value of setting the right example later in life. He valued the relationship he had with his father growing up, even though they didn’t reside in the same home. Lamont gives us a peak into a few very pivotal moments in his life; his mother’s passing, learning that the man he knew as his dad most of his life really wasn’t his father, and becoming himself. The story about his father’s identity unfolded almost as if it was a movie script. See, it all started when he met this girl in high school…Grab a snack and mentally prepare for this one.
