Lessons in Fatherhood from a Misunderstood Cynic

"The writer Ambrose Bierce was a notorious cynic and curmudgeon. He was also fearless and hilarious and a father. At some point in his life—we’re not clear on the details—he went through a painful split with his wife and the mother of his three children. Beneath his hard exterior, he was a sensitive man, and although we don’t know what happened, we get the sense that it was an enormous betrayal. Was it indefinitely? Worse? Again, we don’t know."

Learn about an encounter that Ambrose Bierce had with his son, and the implications that meeting holds for all of us, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
