Fathers Who Leave vs. Fathers Who Hurt 505

In this summer episode of Brett's Mancave, I celebrate my daughter turning 4 years old and take a moment to reflect on what being a father really means to me. I give her the love and praise she deserves while also getting into a deeper conversation inspired by the new Michael movie (spoiler alert included). I break down the difference between dads who aren't there at all and fathers like Joe Jackson—who were present but abusive, pushing their kids to succeed at the cost of their well-being. This episode is me being real about the kind of father I choose to be: present, supportive, and someone who builds up instead of breaking down. It's about learning from both sides and making sure I raise my daughter with love, not fear.
