Summary
Do you ever stand in the card aisle around Father's Day, endlessly searching for a card that doesn't exist because none of the cards on the shelf accurately describe your relationship with your father?
This used to be me.
Growing up, all the cards I saw said, You're the most amazing father ever! You were always there for me! You did everything right!
None of these messages felt right. They didn't capture my feelings toward or my reality with my father.
If Father's Day is painful for you, you're not alone. There are ways you can grieve, mourn, and honor the complex emotions this day evokes, which I share in this episode.

| 0:16.7 | Father's Day is coming up. So my question for you is, do you ever stand in the card aisle |
| 0:21.8 | or on Father's Day for way, way longer than you'd like to because |
| 0:26.1 | literally none of the cards that you look at make sense for you in your relationship with |

| 0:51.7 | for people. |

| 0:55.3 | a different way that you can manage Father's Day |
