As a Dad I’m really not sure what it is that I’m doing… Even after three years. I’d always wanted kids and believed I’d be a great dad so when it finally happened at 40+ I was overjoyed. The whole ride home I couldn’t believe that the hospital just sent me home with this beautiful baby girl and didn’t give a single amount of information about what I was supposed to do with her.
Three years later and I’m the proud dad to a smart, funny and a bit of a pain in the ass little girl. I couldn’t be more proud of how she’s turned out. With that said, I still feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.
I don’t want my daughter to grow up feeling like I do… Uncomfortable in her own skin and having that feeling like she can never just be herself and be happy being her. Nobody should go through life feeling like that. It’s mentality draining and consumes your days and nights. I want better for her and hope the mental problems I’ve dealt with my entire life were not passed to this innocent baby girl.
