Episode 2494: Isaac Morehouse reflects on the complexities of growing up with a father who was both present and absent, alive yet profoundly changed by a head injury. Through personal memories and raw emotions, he explores the duality of having "two dads" and the challenge of processing loss that isn't quite loss. A deeply moving meditation on love, gratitude, and the unspoken struggles of navigating unconventional fatherhood. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://isaacmorehouse.com/2015/06/21/fathers-day-is-a-little-weird-for-me/ Quotes to ponder: "My dad was always there, kind, impossible not to love, and also unable to walk, remember anything of consequence, or be independent at all." "I love both of my dads. My relationship with my head-injured dad is actually great, and makes me smile just to think about it." "It's really hard to miss him and feel ripped off because of his absence. That feels like it would be a slight to the dad that's still here. But I do miss him." Learn more about your ad choices.
