Joshua Jackson shares how becoming a father himself helped him develop sympathy for his late father after years of resentment

Jackson, 46, felt such vivid love for his child, 4, whom she shares with ex-wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, that he took to Instagram on Tuesday, September 3, to post rare comments about his fatherhood journey.
