I’ve never been a good dad. I’ve always been the cool dad. Which, probably doesn’t make me a good dad, but alas… having two grown kids kind of sucks. They’re moved away. You don’t talk, like you used to and you miss them, but they don’t miss you. I’ve never used my kids as props, like all the stellar moms out here do. I’ll post a picture or video when I feel like it. Jackson is at that stage in life, where I’ll post more, just because he’s an entertaining’ almost ‘ 5 year old.
Christian is off working and engaged. Good for him. Exciting times. Madison is living with her boyfriend, Jesse, as he does his motorcycle stuff.. I could always do more. I text, but don’t get replies very often. Madison hates me all because I told her she was the reason I drink… now, I’ve apologized to her about 5 times for the same infraction. I said it, while drunk, and it was in reference to her living with me and then leaving. It doesn’t make what I said better or worse, because I was drinking, but facts are facts…
I’m sober now, almost died and I have a worse relationship with my kids, than dads who never saw their kids or beat the shit out of them. As I said, I’ll never act like I was a good dad. The cool dad, f#ck yeah… the good dad, they probably needed, not so much… but, I was always there for them and I’ll always hold our Friday and Saturday night, movie/tv nights close.
Oh well. I haven’t figured out why I was spared yet. Most of my posts would make you think a mistake was made. I’m sure my meaning is out there somewhere, but who really knows. #dad #beingadad #dadlife #instadad #dadstagram #nashville #nashvillegram #instanashville #nashvilletn #nashvilletennessee #615 #bna #smashville #nashvegas #musiccity #brentwoodtn #franklintn #coolspringstn #tennessee #sober #soberlife #sobriety
