If Your Dad Stopped Watching
from Loose Threads · host Loose Threads
If you stripped away everything your father ever wanted for you, the standards, the disappointments, the bar he kept moving, would there be anything underneath that you'd still call ambition? Or would you find a quiet person you've never met?Nick is twenty-two and can't answer that question. Chris is forty and thought he could, until Nick caught him bluffing. They talk about the wall sons build, the relief that gives you away, and the possibility that the pressure didn't damage you, it built you, and the parts you most want to keep are the parts you can't separate from the man you keep meaning to call.Most episodes try to give you an answer. This one will give you something worse: a question you can't stop checking against your own life
