In this episode of Just My Baby Daddy Podcast, we have a real and emotional conversation about what it’s like dealing with a father with dementia.

AJ Adams sits down with Doug Honig to talk about the moment everything changed—when a strong, dependable father slowly begins to fade, and the roles between father and son begin to reverse.

From taking away the car keys… to sitting with a parent who no longer recognizes you… this episode dives into the reality that many families face but rarely talk about.

This isn’t just about dementia—this is about fatherhood, legacy, patience, and what it means to show up when things get hard.

If you’ve ever experienced watching a parent change, or wondered how you would handle it, this conversation is for you.
