Everyone is loving how this 'boomer dad' comforted his daughter when her marriage was falling apart

Going through a divorce can be painful and heartbreaking for a person, and it's times like these when loved ones come forward as a crucial support system. With a lifetime of experience, parents can be essential in helping someone navigate trouble in a marriage and separation. This worked for a TikToker named Jacqueline (@jac.rose8) when her husband told her that he wanted a divorce, and her dad turned out to be the person who was emotionally there for her.

Many would argue that it is natural for a parent to support a child in trying circumstances, but it’s not easy for them either. The generation referred to as ‘boomers’ is filled with men who are not comfortable showing their vulnerability to people. A lot of it has to do with how society was when they were growing up. As a result of that, a lot of them have unresolved issues that can make them feel uncomfortable if a situation calls for emotional support.

However, it’s the effort that counts. Jacqueline was not in a good place after learning that her husband wanted a divorce. One day, she was in bed all day and just didn’t feel like getting out. So her father came over, sat by her side, and spoke about a song that he had been hooked on recently. There was no pressure from him to make his daughter talk. His presence was enough to make her feel a lot better.

The video uploaded on TikTok had the text overlay, “My husband just said he’s divorcing me and my dad came over and I was non-functional in bed…so boomer dad didn’t know what to do, so he played his favorite song, the Dua Lipa ‘Rocket Man’ remix 😂.” Rocket Man is a popular song that was originally composed by the legendary Elton John, and a remixed version of the track was recently released by English-Albanian popstar Dua Lipa.

He didn’t speak about any details of the divorce or make his daughter remember the whole ordeal. All he did was talk about the song that he loved. “I can see, like, four singers in the background while he’s there by himself,” he said. “He’s just jamming out?” the TikTok creator asked. “Yeah, moving around a little bit!” he answered. It was a truly heartwarming father-daughter moment, and viewers on TikTok could not help but feel happy about that relationship.

"That’s so sweet though, not pressuring you to talk he just want to be with you,” one user named Ashley Spica commented. “What a beautiful person he is, the best humanity has to offer 🙏🏼❣️👌 I hope you yourself will feel better soon, knowing you are loved by great people,” another user named Vero Lawson chimed in. “I got a dad like that. never knows what to say, but hates when I'm sad... so he makes me come out and mend farm fence posts with him,” a viewer named Dani Zaau wrote.
