In the background of our loudest joys and quietest worries stands someone steadfast—our father. His hands may be rough from labor, his words sometimes few, but his presence is a deep river of love.
This Father’s Day, with The One Liner, we honor not just the man who taught us how to ride a bike or read a map, but also the man who carried silent burdens so we could walk freely.
”
In this article, let us take a heartfelt look at our fathers’ sacrifices, struggles, and the support they deserve to receive for their wellness.
Fathers don’t always seek the spotlight. They rarely voice their sacrifices. Yet, every act of giving—be it time, money, or emotion—is a love letter written in action. It’s time we read it aloud. It’s time we care for them, just as they’ve cared for us.
The Quiet Hero: A Father’s Sacrifice
Why Fathers Are Special?
1. Sacrifice of Time
He won’t say it, but he feels it—every skipped meal, every half-watched cricket match, every long night helping with homework after a 10-hour workday. He trades guitar strings for grocery runs, reading time for board games, and sleep for midnight temperature checks.
A Father’s Day never truly ends but simply pauses between the needs of others.
While the world applauds hustle, he hustles for home—and asks for nothing.
2. Financial Pressures
Some experts suggest, if your father’ shoulders are in pain, maybe he is tired of taking responsibility at home. From EMIs to emergencies, school fees to surprise birthdays—he’s the quiet architect of stability.
He downgrades his phone so you can upgrade your dreams.He says, “I don’t need it,” while tucking away yet another wishlist item. Any may be taking bus, to save some money.
You may never see the stress on his face, but it lives in his choices—in the shirt that’s a few seasons old, in the extra shift he took, in the quiet sigh behind a strong smile.
3. Emotional Stoicism
He doesn’t cry in front of you. Not because he doesn’t want to—but because he was taught not to. His emotions are folded away like an old letter—kept safe but unread.
He carries heartbreak, fear, and doubt in silence—not because he lacks feeling, but because he feels too much and has nowhere to put it.
You may not hear the words “I’m struggling,” but in that prolonged pause before answering, “I’m fine,” they’re all there.
4. Ambition and Dreams Deferred
Once, he had dreams of building something for himself—a business, a degree, a solo trip across the mountains. But then came you.
And suddenly, his dreams didn’t vanish—they just changed shape.
He pressed pause on his world so yours could play.
And he never looked back—because to him, watching you grow became the dream.
5. The “Always On” Role
Fathers don’t get log-off buttons. He’s a 24/7 support system—driver, mentor, negotiator, handyman, therapist.
Even when he’s physically still, his mind is multitasking: “Did I pay that bill? Does she need new shoes? Is he okay at school?”
He lives on high alert, always ready to catch a fall or fix what’s broken.
You may not notice, but you sleep peacefully because he doesn’t.
6. The Impact on Relationships
In giving everything to his family, he often forgets to give to himself.
Friendships fade into the background. Romance becomes practical. Hobbies gather dust.
He misses the version of himself that wasn’t always someone else’s anchor.
But still, he shows up—again and again—with love that doesn’t seek reward, only recognition.
A quiet hero who deserves more than one day of appreciation. He deserves understanding. He deserves care.

The Silent Crisis: Challenges to Men’s Mental Wellness
1. Stigma and Shame
Society often discourages men from seeking help or expressing feelings. “Man up” and “Don’t cry” are harmful messages that teach men to suppress their emotional needs. Fathers often feel they can’t express vulnerability without being judged or misunderstood.
2. Undiagnosed Conditions
Due to stigma and low awareness, many fathers live with untreated depression, anxiety, or chronic stress. These can manifest as irritability, fatigue, detachment, or physical ailments and often go unrecognized by themselves or their loved ones.
3. Lack of Support Systems
Unlike mothers, who may find peer groups or maternal networks, fathers are rarely offered emotional or community support. Most don’t have safe spaces to open up, share, or learn from one another. The isolation can deepen over time.
4. Work-Life Imbalance
Fathers are expected to perform at work and be present at home. The mental load of providing financial and emotional support to the family while maintaining personal balance often leads to burnout. With no place to decompress, it becomes a ticking time bomb.
5. Paternal Postpartum Depression (PPPD)
Yes, it’s real—and under-discussed. New fathers experience emotional upheaval, hormonal changes, and identity shifts, just like mothers. However, since society rarely acknowledges it, many individuals suffer in silence, feeling isolated and overwhelmed during a time when they’re expected to be joyful.
Nurturing Our Heroes: Steps Towards Mental Wellness
1. Break the Silence
We must create space for fathers to speak, vent, and share their thoughts. Ask how they’re doing. Listen without judgment. Make it okay for men to feel sad, tired, or scared. Change begins with conversations.
2. Promote Self-Care as Strength
Self-care is not a weakness; it’s essential. Fathers deserve rest, recreation, and reflection. Encourage activities that help them feel grounded—be it a hobby, therapy, a long walk, or a weekend getaway.
3. Build Support Networks
Dads need safe communities to talk and connect—whether through fatherhood clubs, online forums, or workplace wellness groups. Even a monthly coffee meet-up can become a lifeline of emotional connection.
4. Encourage Professional Help
Let’s remove the shame around therapy. Normalize counseling as a strength, not a last resort. If a father you love is struggling, support him in seeking guidance from a professional, gently and consistently.
5. Quality Time, Not Just Quantity
Even small moments—watching a movie together, sharing a joke, or recalling old memories—can rejuvenate a father’s spirit. It’s about being emotionally present, not just physically nearby.
6. Shared Responsibilities
Housework, parenting, emotional labor—fathers shouldn’t have to do it all alone, nor should they be shut out of nurturing roles. Shared responsibility builds empathy and prevents burnout on all sides.
Final Thoughts
In a nutshell!
Fathers don’t always ask for appreciation, but need it deeply. They carry the unseen, endure the unspoken, and give more than they ever take. This Father’s Day, let’s honor their journey by nurturing them—by talking, listening, and helping them heal where they’ve been silent.
Let’s rewrite the narrative: a strong father isn’t one who carries everything alone but one who is cared for in return.
To every father—we see you, we thank you, we love you.
Happy Father’s Day.
