In 2006 when I married my best friend I thought life was going to be happily ever after. Yeah right. 2 kids later, many sleepless nights chasing careers instead of each other, we drifted apart.
That drift and feelings of insecurity and wondering if anyone truly could love me led me down a path to fantasy, porn and eventually an affair which ended my marriage in 2016.
How could I, as a Christian, have gone down this road? I felt like a failure as a husband, father and believer.
So, yeah, I’ve been there, Dad. Fast forward to today and I have an amazing relationship with my girls, even though I don't see them nearly as often as I like.
How did I do it? I worked on myself first and got things right in my head and my heart. Am I back with my daughters mother? No, that didn’t work out... and it’s okay. We co-parent well and our girls know that Mom and Dad love both of them to the moon and back.
Maybe your story is similar to mine... and maybe it is different. Whatever your reason for being here, I want you to know: You are welcome here!
So come with me on a journey to becoming the man & dad I know you want to & can be to your daughters.
You will hear stories to inspire, motivate, encourage and maybe tick you off. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry but most of all we will navigate Faith, Fatherhood and Figuring Out our journeys together.
