Why Letters?

What Makes These Letters Different
I'm not a therapist or parenting expert. I'm a twice-over step-father and biological dad who's been through the trenches of complicated family situations.
These letters don't sugarcoat fatherhood or pretend it's all joy and fulfillment. They acknowledge the struggle while offering hope.
Whether you're a biological father, step-father, or dealing with a blended family, these letters address the unique challenges you face.
Physical letters you can re-read when you need them. No apps to download, no passwords to remember, no subscriptions to manage.

From Letter 4: "When Your Friends Don't Get It"
Your friends are going to start saying you've changed. They're right—you have. The question is how you handle that without becoming resentful or shutting everyone out.
Here's what's actually happening: your priorities shifted overnight, but your friends' didn't. They still think in terms of "want to do something" equals "do it." You now think in terms of "want to do something" equals "check three schedules, consider energy levels, and maybe plan for next month."
This isn't about asking permission to live your life. It's about your life having more moving parts now.
The adjustment isn't about choosing between old friends and new responsibilities. It's about learning to communicate the reality without sounding like you're complaining or making excuses.
When they say "you've changed," try: "Yeah, my schedule's different now. What works for you these days?" Instead of explaining why you can't do something, suggest what you can do.
Your friends without kids will need time to understand your new rhythm. Some will adjust, some won't. That's not a reflection of your worth as a friend—it's just how life transitions work.
The goal isn't to maintain everything exactly as it was. It's to figure out what relationships are worth adapting for, and how to do that without losing yourself in the process...

Frequently Asked Questions
These letters are honest about struggle and realistic about solutions. They won't solve everything, but they'll remind you that you're not alone and give you perspectives that might help.
Fair question. These aren't fancy stationery or poetic writing. They're conversational, straightforward, and written like someone talking to a friend.
The current series is specifically for new fathers, but the themes of struggle, transition, and finding your way apply broadly. Future series will address other life transitions.
The letters arrive looking like personal mail, not a self-help program. There's no pressure to participate or respond. If they don't want to read them, they don't have to.
