I am proud of you!
I am proud of your persistence in front of difficulties and challenges. I am proud of your achievements.
I am proud of you even if I haven’t told you before, I am proud even if I belittled you, even if I fucked up.
My behaviour and response to your efforts has nothing to do with you. Not a justification but it is about with my (generational) trauma and lack of seeing my own achievements. I would apologise for all the pain I caused to you if only my trauma allowed me to see, feel and realise all the pain I caused.
I think that, above all, I am proud that you are not repeating my own journey and you are a much better person than me.
I was proud of you the day you first said dad.
I was proud of you the morning you first started to crawl
I was proud of you the first time you took a step
I was proud of you when you had your first day of school
I was proud that you stuck with education when I knew you were smart enough to succeed without a teacher telling you what to learn. Sorry that I wasn't that great at expressing that. I am still working on that.
And yeah, I probably should have spent more time telling you that. I guess I still have a good bit more to learn about being a good father but don't for a minute mistake that failing of mine as that you are not the son that I am proud of.
I am proud most of all that you are a good and decent person and not just for the first time.
Every day.
-Love Dad.
