Father's Day weekend
Whatever your relationship with your father looks like right now, he is one of the loudest voices in your head. Present. Absent. Complicated. Gone. You inherited his patterns whether he meant to give them to you or not. The work is not loving him perfectly. The work is noticing which of his patterns are running your decisions right now, and choosing which ones you keep. The strongest men I know are not the ones who had the best fathers. They are the ones who looked at what they were handed and decided what to do with it. This weekend, call him if you can. Forgive him if you need to. Give yourself permission to grieve what was missing if that is what is real. And then ask yourself which version of him is sitting on your shoulder when you make decisions. You cannot outrun his patterns. You can only choose which ones become yours. I'm in your corner.
