The post comes from a man who is getting a divorce from his wife. Based on what I’ve gathered from this exchange, it seems he has two kids: a 15-year-old stepdaughter and a 2-year-old biological daughter.

“My wife and I are separating and I leave home tomorrow,” his post reads. “This was a conversation with my 15 year old stepdaughter late tonight.”

As the above image shows, the conversation starts with the teen sharing how much her stepdad, who she views as just her dad, means to her. Needless to say, the impact this has on him is indescribable.

The teen goes on to express her appreciation for the way he’s always joking around with her. She also promises to watch after his 2-year-old whenever she’s at her house.

“Don’t worry, I will look after [her] and make sure she’s always happy,” the teen writes.

Although the relationship between this teen’s parents didn’t work out, it’s heartwarming to see how much her dad still means to her. It’s even giving folks hope for the future.

“I can only hope and dream that there’s a whole wave of men who can be fathers like this!” one person writes. “Communicative, supportive and open in showing love and emotion. That’s healthy and beautiful and it’s how we heal!”
