FRD member Mike Green sits down with fellow FRD member Danny Mulvihill for a conversation every dad needs to hear. Danny is a father of two daughters (10 and 14) and has been married for 17.5 years. For most of his adult life, he was the master of "I'm sorry, but." The words were there but the energy was off.
Two years ago, after a heated argument with his older daughter, his wife pushed him to go upstairs and repair it before bed. He didn't want to. He climbed those stairs, fighting it every step. But what happened when he got there changed how he shows up as a father.
They get into:
→ How to name the specific thing you did wrong and then stop talking
→ Why you can be right or you can be connected, but rarely both at the same time
→ How the repair process actually shortens the gap between blowing up and catching yourself
→ Why proper repair is sometimes better than never having the rupture at all
→ The long-term stakes of how you apologize to your daughters and what it teaches them to accept in future relationships
→ How learning to repair opened the door to showing real emotion in front of his kids for the first time
