   The Dad I Never Had: Becoming A Father After Absence with Eldred Wee

   He grew up wondering why his dad left.Now, as a father himself, Eldred is trying to become the dad he never had. In this Father’s Day special of In mOther Words, Steph sits down with Eldred for a deeply honest conversation about fatherhood, father absence, provider pressure, emotional shutdown, and the family patterns we quietly carry into parenting. Eldred shares what it was like growing up after his father left, watching his mother carry four children, and becoming the eldest son who had to grow up too quickly. Now a father to Eden, he reflects on what it means to show up differently. Not just by providing. Not just by building a future. But by being present, emotionally honest, and willing to heal the parts of himself he does not want to pass down. This episode is not about blaming fathers. It is about asking what fathers carry, what mothers absorb, what children internalize, and how one generation can choose to stop handing the wound down. “No amount of money can buy my time with you.” In this conversation, we explore: Growing up without a father figure What father absence can do to a child The emotional weight mothers carry after separation Provider pressure and the guilt of not doing enough The fear of repeating your parents’ mistakes Why some fathers shut down emotionally The question: “Am I worthy of rest?” Intergenerational trauma and healing before parenting What it means to be emotionally present as a dad Becoming the parent you once needed A father’s message to his son This episode is for you if: You grew up with an emotionally absent parent You are a mother carrying more than people see You are a father trying to show up differently You are a parent trying to break generational patterns You have ever wondered what your childhood is teaching your parenting You are learning that presence is not the same as provision Join the conversation What is one thing you wish your father, your partner, or the father of your child knew how to say? We’d love to hear your reflections.

   Mums, This Is What Dads Don’t Say

   What do dads carry that they rarely say out loud? In this Father’s Day special, we invited three fathers into In mOther Words for a heart-to-heart conversation about modern fatherhood, marriage, parenting, emotional silence, and what dads wish mums understood. We talk about the pressure to provide, the loneliness of not knowing how to ask for help, why vulnerability can feel difficult for men, and how both mothers and fathers can feel more seen in the family. This is not a conversation about mothers versus fathers. It is a conversation about coming back to each other with more honesty, softness, and partnership. Heads up: This episode includes some mild swearing and very real dad talk.
