comment: I hope this person is given the resources he needs to feel more empowered and confident. That child will likely be better for having their father in their life as long as he is doing his absolute best…even if he’s not perfect. Becoming a father at 17 must feel unbelievably scary, and who knows what his support system at home is like. I hope he has a loving family, and wish him many MANY years of growth, joy, and success. I wish I could hug him too 😭
