Decolonizing Fatherhood

Free Thought Revolution

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,

The beginning of fatherhood is always blessed and bestowed upon us by the Mother Goddess, and to ensure we do it correctly we brought back Miss Mamadelamyco; to guide us on this journey Decolonizing Fatherhood. We discuss the (nonexistent) difference between Stepfather and just father. From the words of two fathers we learn what it means to be a father, and the different feelings father’s may go through. What was the first reaction to being told you were going to be a father? Where and how did you learn to be a good father? How do you continue to grow into fatherhood?

Mother’s have the direct connection to children through a long natural growth in the womb, We discuss what father’s feel sitting and waiting for the stew to finish. How the distance disconnects father’s from the children creates a different sort of bond in the process of becoming dads. What it means for father’s to fit in during the birthing, raising, rearing, nurturing process.

We get our hands dirty changing diapers, literally and physically; we brag about that! What is up with gender preferences, and what is it mean to be a man-partner-father; in relationships where we continue to be viewed only as physical protectorates & providers. Exploring the mental & emotional tolls it takes to shed the cloak and patriarchal labels of “fatherhood”. Support one, because it does; take a community! #Mentoo

We discuss natural earth medicine’s role in our relationship with parenting? Integration of it with the children and the structure of natural indigenious culture in the growth of our relationship with children,and family structure.

Ending with the best ways fathers get their oxytocin and the intoxication of babies.

Thank you Mamadelamyco for guiding us bumbling fathers through the decolonization of fatherhood. Merlyn for the soul-fatherly-male support in discussing the best and darkest parts of fatherhood. #Mentoo #1in6

Special Thank you to Asett for blessing us with 3 babies in 3 years; a gift we will never be able to return in equivocation, Blessed Ankh.

Thank you, Mamadelamyco and Erasmus (Merlyn)
