This is a Fresh Start

from The Daily Dad

We were all deprived or hurt in our childhoods. Even the best parents left something to be desired. Maybe we were ignored. Or maybe we were pressured too much. Maybe Mom’s insecurity was a burden to us. Or Dad’s sense of humor cut too deeply. Maybe our family was poor. Maybe our family was too rich, too materialistic. We wished then that things would be different. We wished that they could just understand. That they could just give us what we needed. It didn’t happen. And that hurt. But now we have a second chance. Now we are the parent. You are Dad. The question then is what are you doing to do it differently? How are you going to handle this second chance? The past can’t be undone. But we can heal old wounds by being for someone else what we needed ourselves. And we can make a better world by being for our kids, what our parents were not for us.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
