you mean like he's always been there for her?
Well sure!! How silly of me! That's the reason he rises heads above all the thousands of amazing fathers out there!
Now you're starting to get it...
I am so very grateful that the men/fathers I have known have a higher bar than some of you do for fathers. To me a father sets by example and that including respecting the Mom and the truth. He did his young daughter wrong back then. None of us will ever fully know what hell he put her emotional state through at that tender age but for anyone to validate that he deserves this award speaks volumes about low bar setting imo.
