Today, we celebrate all the fathers and father figures who shape our lives with love, strength, and guidance. Thank you for being steadfast figures in our lives.
Here at SPAN, we also recognize that Father’s Day can be particularly complex for some. For survivors of domestic violence and their families, this day may bring up a mixture of emotions—pain, relief, sadness, or even anger. To those who have experienced harm at the hands of a father or father figure, we see you. Your journey is unique, and your strength is profound. For anyone feeling conflicted today, we are with you.
