Honoring bio and bonus dads on Father’s Day

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:11:37 GMT

Q. I am 19. My mom and dad divorced when I was 12. It was difficult, but we all got through it, particularly because my mom married a really kind and understanding man about 4 years ago. I am close to my dad and would never do anything to hurt him, but I am looking for some way to also honor my bonus dad this Father’s Day. Do you have any suggestions?A. I always say, “You can’t have too many people love your child,” and you are living proof. Kudos to dad and bonus dad for both supporting you — and I hope they supported each other while raising you. It’s not enough to both love and care for you, it’s just as important that they acknowledge and each other and realize that they both have tried their best. Acknowledging someone’s good work eliminates jealousy and promotes teamwork. If any endeavor needs teamwork, it’s raising kids.When my own daughter got married, there was the classic question of who would walk her down the aisle. She had a great relationship with both dad and bonus da...
