I know you acknowledged maybe not just a father thing. I’ve had two major life in peril crisis with my wife. First was about 3.5 years ago and started with her sister calling to say they just had a serious car accident which ultimately resulted in my wife being in intensive care for over a week. The other was in June this year when my wife and I discovered our baby was arriving 10 weeks early. Gratefully, in both cases everything turned out fine in the end. But both experiences were very surreal in that in the moment I was calm and just focussed on doing whatever needed to be done. For the car accident it was only the next morning that it really hit me emotionally. And for the premature birth, it was only several hours later once everything seemed okay did my wife and I finally take bearings on how we were feeling. And on the subject of becoming a father. My daughter spent 8 weeks in the hospital but only on the day we bought her home did I finally have the realisation that she is utterly and completely reliant on me and my wife. That was the moment that something changed in me. It was possibly also delayed as the pandemic caused hospital to severely limit visiting time for dads.
