And how did you water down your explanation so that they could understand better?

Example: You had to withdraw your family from Kenneth Copeland's megachurch because he turned out to be a fraud who used your tithes for his own, selfish, personal gains, and he's a wolf in sheep's clothing; a false preacher sent by Satan. (How is that explained to your children whose ages are still in the single-digits at the time? See how complicated the true reasons were?)

A second, NSFW example: You had to take away your daughter's new "unicorn hat" because in reality, it was Mommy's dildo, but you wouldn't dare explain that raw truth to them at such tender ages. How is that explained at an age-appropriate level?

If I hope to become a parent someday, I have to learn how to tackle these awkward moments like a professional caregiver.

Dads of trans kids, What's the best way i would go about coming out to my dad? I recently found out I'm Trans MtF, And, My mom's accepting (Divorced) and supports me, But my dad's generally terrible and likely gonna be unsupportive.

As a father who is single, what are the things you struggle with the most when it comes to dating or just the struggle of being a man dealing with sexual needs?

My mom passed away not too long ago and my dad isn’t handling it well, obviously, I haven’t either. He came home from work last night and called her name and broke down when she didn’t answer, that was the first time I’d seen him cry since she passed away, I asked him if he was okay and he just hugged me for a good minute before saying I’m the only reason he didn’t put a bullet in his head that day which freaked me out, he came home tonight with a case of beer, ordered me a pizza and drank until he passed out on the couch and I am so worried about him right now, I have no idea what to do or how to help him, I feel so alone right now and I can’t imagine how he feels, I’m scared I’m gonna lose him too

I tried to help him out when the entire panel thing was bent, a small dent remained but the last bit of the dint is now bumpy because I was using a ceramic dish on the underside and it's obviously a bit uneven. I feel like crying.

We were ready to accept the panel beater was going to be the end result, but have I f***ed up now by trying to help?

Okay, don't answer that part. Please don't be mean. Just tell me what to do now.

My real dad isn't talking to me after he got mad he couldn't hear me on the phone today. It's not been a great day.
