Your Temperament
You are a Melancholic Father.
What you need to know
Your family reads your face before they open their mouths. You see everything, you weigh everything, and you carry it inward until the people you love most are guessing at a man they struggle to reach. Your depth is not the problem, but your withdrawal is. The same seriousness that makes you brood is the seriousness that, spoken out loud, becomes the steadiest love your wife and children need. They do not need a father who doesn't feel deeply. They need you to surface, on occasion, where they can find you and be seen by you.
