Why Is Talking to My Dad Harder Than Calculus?

You ever feel like talking to your dad is more complicated than assembling IKEA furniture? Yeah, me too. For years, my dad and I barely spoke—awkward silences, missed birthdays, and a lot of unsaid stuff. I used to wonder if reaching out was even worth it. But one day, I just called him. No big speech, just a simple, "Hey Dad, it’s me. Want to grab coffee?" I was terrified, but it broke the ice. We didn’t solve world peace, but we did talk about baseball and old TV shows. I stopped expecting him to be the perfect dad and started seeing him as a regular, flawed human. Turns out, that’s all he ever was. Forgiveness? Still working on it. But at least now, we’re both trying. Maybe that’s enough. 🤷‍♂️☕️ #FamilyMatters #Fatherhood #Forgiveness #Reconnect #FamilyRelationships
