Restored: Helping Children of Divorce

#153: He Grew Up Without a Dad. Here’s What He Learned | Tommy


Listen Later

In many places, we’re facing an epidemic of fatherlessnes. Fatherlessness not only leaves an invisible mark but it also shapes how you view yourself, how you handle your emotions, and how you love in relationships. So are fatherless children doomed?

Not at all. In fact, Tommy shows how to compensate for what you didn’t receive from dad and how healing is within reach. In this episode, we also discuss:

  • His dad’s spiral into mental illness, homelessness—and why Tommy hasn’t seen him in over a decade
  • The hidden ways father hunger shows up in dating relationships, causing us to seek what we never received from the wrong people
  • The lies he carried for years: “I am alone” and “I have to earn love”—and the truth he found to break that grip

If you experienced any sort of fatherlessness, this episode is for you.
