but it does help if you have an anecdote or some relatable experience.

My Father-In-law is not my wife's birth father, but he has a sensitive side/intuition that informs his way of handling them. It's something that I struggle with sometimes, as a man. tryna find that common ground with the girls so the lines of communication stay open.

We dont agree on a lot of stuff. He's Italian and was real conservative sociopolitically for a while but he's start to come around. I used to love goin in on that nigga. 'How you gon tell me, dog. you aint got no kids...aint never had none.'

but he's been in their lives since day one. and they tell him $hit they dont tell me. He helps out, and I caint hate on that AT ALL.
