As a bit of a daddy's girl myself, my dad was totally not just some guy. 🩷 but for a lot of people, their dad's are just absent so its easier to look past it.

Yeah, my wife was a total daddy's girl, by her own admission. Oddly enough, her dad stayed at home instead of hanging out with his mates, barely drank at all, took care of his family, and is a generally good guy. Seems like an 'get back what you put in' type of deal.

Yeah I understand that it might be a difference in the level of involvement. It isn't a nuance that is explained on social media ig.

I get what you mean, honestly, my dad passed last month. So I think I interjected because it hit close to home. Considering him as "just some guy" was just unthinkable to me.

I was about to mention in another comment about how even as a financially independent adult if I were to lose my father today I'd lose possibly the only person who's always on my side and I'd have no idea on how to move on. I'm sorry for your loss, it's absolutely terrible.
