I Resent Bad Dads...so I'm Working to Not Be One

I resent bad dads. Sometimes I feel like my dad was one...
Growing up, I had to figure a lot out on my own. My dad wasn't really active in my day-to-day life, and while that fostered a lot of self-reliance and independence, I've realized lately that I have a lot of frustration about it. Especially now, seeing how important it is to be in my own kids' daily lives.
Now I’m asking myself, “Is the identity I self-constructed in order to survive worth passing on to my kids?”
Where I deem it not worthy, I’m willing to tinker and whittle it into something that is. This show is going to be about exploring my own baggage around manhood & fatherhood, and leveling up where needed.
I want this to feel like a place where dads can open up safely, challenge their ideas about fatherhood, and vent/laugh off the hard stuff. So, I welcome your comments, messages, and input! Honestly, I thrive on it.
