The questions no one asks a father.

The father’s perspective: feeling like the „third wheel,“ loneliness, helplessness — but also pride and connection. Nearly no competition; speaks to dads as their own audience.

What it’s about

Why this deck exists

Research is stark: many new fathers feel sidelined, lonely, and unable to say so, taught to „man up“ and suffer in silence. This deck gives dads language for what usually stays locked in. It can be played dad-solo (reflection) or as a couple (so a partner understands). Questions name the unspoken; follow-ups open it toward the partner; context normalizes and dignifies.
