Omg this spoke to me. My kids are my world and deserve adults to act like adults! I’ve walked into many fires for my kids. I’ve stayed in places that don’t welcome me or have zero opportunity for advancement but they are number one and deserve me as their father.

I never would’ve imagined standing in the same room as my ex again. After everything we’ve been through — the court battles, the false accusations, the OOP violations, the stress, the sleepless nights — the idea of being face-to-face felt impossible. So when she emailed inviting us to a birthday party for my little girl, it hit me with that familiar knot in my stomach. Awkward? Yeah. Uncomfortable? Absolutely. A reminder of a past I’d rather forget? Without question. But none of that is bigger than my little girl. For a couple hours, she gets to feel loved, celebrated, and free from adult chaos. She gets joy instead of tension. She gets peace instead of the past. I don’t have to like her. I don’t have to trust her. I don’t have to forget the hell she put me through. But I will show up — steady, calm, respectful — because my little girl deserves that. That’s what being a present father is: choosing your child’s heart over your own comfort, every single time. Awkward or not… I’ll walk into the fire for her. Every. Time. #PresentFather #DadFirst #BreakingCycles #FatherhoodUnfiltered #ShowUpForYourKids #dadlifebelike #divorceddad #divorcedmom #custodybattle #coparentingstruggles

Unless of course they are working on it 🫶🏽

The key is to find a way to always appreciate and learn from the highs and lows. It’s hard to appreciate the lows sometimes but the learning is apparent. And it’s hard to be open to learning when everything is going great.

Just love life in all its misery and joy because the opposite is not even known and frankly just thankful to have a life.

And always sit in the sun!!

More cops should be this way

It’s not work when you’re having fun!!
