They said if you stayed loyal, loved hard, and did the right thing—you’d be enough. But for fathers in this generation, being “good” doesn’t guarantee anything. In this raw, unfiltered episode, I expose the 7 biggest lies they told us about fatherhood—and the painful truths that come with them.

From betrayal, emotional manipulation, and court battles, to the quiet grief of being erased by the very people you sacrificed for… this is the side of parenting nobody wants to talk about.

But I’m not just here to vent. I’m here to reclaim power.

Woven into the heartbreak are affirmations from The Father I Choose to Be—the kind of father I’m still choosing to become, no matter what the system or the story says about me.

Because being a good dad might not protect you…

But staying silent? That’ll destroy you.

This one’s for the fathers who stayed, lost, and still choose to show up.
