Happy Father's Day to my fellow faithful dads! - Divorce Minister

Skip to content

When everything went to pieces, I was grieving the thought that I might never get to be a dad. Well, that all changed when I married Mrs. DM. Instantly, I became a dad to Munchkin.

God restores dreams!

Also, I am so grateful for my own dad. He has been a rock in my life. I’ve been told I’ve become that to others, and I hope so as it would be an honor to be like my dad in this way.

In addition to my dad, I am grateful for Mrs. DM’s dad. My father-in-law is a great support to us. I really married into a wonderful family.

Here’s a song by Owl City that is perfect in honoring dads on Father’s Day:

*I also acknowledge that this can be a difficult day to celebrate for those with painful relationships with fathers. Be gentle with yourself. Know that you have a Perfect Father in Heaven that loves you perfectly.

    More concerned about how you found out - Divorce Minister

    Pro-Tip: When the Cheater is more concerned about how you found out than the damaged they did to you, then you know they are not remorseful. This is the behavior of someone who is looking for the source of the leaked information. People ask such questions to continue their behavior.

    "What do you know?" - Divorce Minister
