CoT: Thoughts on Fatherhood When You Feel Like a Failure
1. Recognize that “perfect” is a myth.
2. Be wisely transparent. It’s good to admit mistakes and apologize as a masculine father.
3. Beware of self-pity. Self-pity adopts a posture of helpless self-indulgence. Part of successful fathering is having “other-focus,” a mentality that intentionally leverages “my strength and resources for your benefit.” Beware of excessive self-absorption and self-pity that robs us of the outward expression of love.
4. Watch where you get your identity. Are you worried about them or what others think (or would think) about this situation? Seek their betterment.
5. Move toward your kids. You just have to hug your kids, stay curious about their lives, and strike up a conversation rather than retreating into fearful silence. Children need their dads regardless of what Dad is feeling about himself on the inside.
