He was my father in name… but never in presence.

This is the letter I never got to send

To the first man who left me.

To the one whose silence shaped my manhood.

In this raw, deeply personal episode, I speak to the father who was never there.

I speak for the sons who had to become men without a map.

I speak for every boy who begged for belonging in silence.

This isn’t about blame.

It’s about release.

About choosing to show up, even when no one showed you how.

If you’ve ever wondered why he never came back…

If you’ve ever been the one who stayed, even when no one stayed for you…

This is your healing too.

🎧 Press play. Speak the silence. Break the cycle.
