My dad moved out of the house when I was fairly young, and in some ways it really sucked, but at the same time he still did a great job of being there for me and my brother... He was in the stands for every sports game, always there to give stellar advice when we needed it, and in a way the reduction of his need to be the responsible parent allowed him to become a much better friend than he otherwise could have.

As long as you can constantly show your kids how much you love them, be there for them in their big moments, and constantly support and advise them, things tend to work out... It was a lot harder on my dad than it was for us, because he did such a great job at it. Hang in there buddy.

Just curious about what sort of impression I leave. Let me know, thanks.
