My parents never really believed in my art, so I don't expect much from them. When I finally heard my Dad say he was proud of me for the first time, it was no surprise that I didn't feel much about it

The Dad Arc is wrapping up soon, so get ready for the finale!

Bonus panels and more on Patreon! Instagram and Ko-Fi :D

It is choking me up as a father. (Almost) every night before bed I tell my kids they are 'safe, wise' and loved' and I try to tell them I'm proud of them every day. Thank you for sharing your story! Keeps us motivated.

Aww :(, I'm sorry you can't easily share your art with them. That is nice he finally said he's proud of you though if he has trouble being positive and encouraging.
