Complete transcript: Grieving the father you wish you had

Nobody talks about grieving the father you wish you had. There's a heartbreak that goes along with having a father who isn't there for you, who isn't connected, mature, or consistent in showing up in your life. As you get older, you realize you've grown up too soon, or you raised yourself, and your father wasn't there for you in the ways that you've needed. You get a deep sense of rage whenever you think about him or hear from him. And this can be worse, especially if he doesn't acknowledge the damage that he's caused. And underneath that rage is actually grief and sadness. Because having a father who's alive but can't actually be a father is one of the most painful things a person can experience. Can also make us pick partners who make us feel disposable or ignored because it's all we've ever known of love. You might have to have boundaries or even cut your father out of your life. And then have people in your family saying things like, "Well, he's your father." without understanding that he didn't actually act like.
