This week, our writer is reconnecting with her dad after 12 years apart. She’s worried he won’t want to see her, or that the reunion won’t go the way she’s dreamed about for years. We’re diving into fear of rejection, complicated parent relationships, protecting your peace, and how to manage expectations while still leaving room for hope.
