The Dad Chronicle | Parenting Resources & Stories of Fatherhood

Alex is back with J.J. Valentine, a fellow podcaster and member of the community known as the Tadpool, to talk about his experiences as a father. First, J.J. shares how he rebuilt a relationship with his children after his divorce and successfully coparents his children with his ex-wife. He also talks about his experiences with his own father and repressed memories from his time as a child. And finally, the two talk about the difficulties of raising black children and how we should shift our conversations about systemic racism to being more understanding and empathetic.
