“My daughter was dumped by her husband for no reason,” he said in an emotional monologue. “Instead of breaking down from the weight, she came out stronger. A new person—or so I thought. But now, I think, maybe, this is what she’s always been. I never really saw her as a Something.”

This strength? This fearlessness that I never had? My poor son never did? What would happen to her if I helped her instead of ignoring her? Ignoring who she really is? My daughter is an amazing person. And I don’t think I ever said anything like that to her. ”

He explained that he had moments where he realized that maybe his input had less impact on his children’s lives than he thought, adding, “So, at every level, that scene was very Has weight.”
