Analyzed interview transcripts using reflexive thematic analysis.
Fathers perceiving greater personal growth from parenting showed higher supportive practices.
Greater parenting strain linked to more controlling behavior.
Contextual factors such as employment status, location, and ethnicity influenced parenting responses.
Three main themes emerged: evolving bonds, shaping fatherhood, and context in action.
