Jenny Bartoy @jennybartoy.bsky.social · 21/06/2026If you are estranged from your father, like I am, Father’s Day may be difficult. You are not alone. I’m fortunate to have wonderful father figures in my life (let’s hear it for stepfathers and in-laws 🥰) and a partner who is an incredible dad to our three children, so there is plenty to celebrate. 110 0
