I Wish I Was a Better Father

from Built For Resilience · host Rich

At 49 years old, with my daughter now 23, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on the father I was and the father I wish I had been.In this episode, I talk about growing up in a traditional Caribbean household, how parenting patterns get passed down through generations, and how people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and unresolved childhood experiences shaped the way I raised my daughter.This isn't about blaming my parents or my ex-wife. It's about taking responsibility, recognizing inherited behaviors, and understanding how our past can quietly influence the way we parent.If you've ever looked back at your life with regret, questioned your parenting decisions, or wondered how your childhood shaped your adulthood, this conversation may resonate with you.
