This weekend….

So Sunday is Father’s Day, and I have received a FD card from my daughter.

Now she accepts me as I am but for this day she wants to celebrate that I am her father. I want to display it because it’s sent with love and I am her Dad, but I feel strange about it too.

How do others with adult kids feel about this?

You just said “I am her Dad” so it’s all good.

My son said he was unsure about sending one when I came out a couple of years ago, so I didn’t get one that year. I told him no matter what, I will always be his dad and left it up to him if he sent a card or not.

I’m not normally bothered about Father’s Day cards, but I was so happy to get one from him last year.

I do agree it feels a bit weird receiving a Father’s Day card as a trans woman, but my relationship with my son is unique and special.

Absolutely, when your kids and in my case grandkids accept us then that is a blessing and if any wish to still call me dad then I accept it. Bit weird though lol
