About Sam Asra
Growing up I did not have a good relationship with my father.
He was emotionally and physically abusive to my mother and me and when I got old enough, I took action to defend her. They divorced when I was 18 and I never heard from him again.
The one silver lining is that he taught me everything a father should not be. And I had to teach myself what my father should have taught me.
This experience fueled my desire to support fathers in building nurturing and healthy relationships with their children.
With no father figure, I had very little direction and guidance. I had to face life's challenges alone. I felt abandoned. I was broken. I felt angry and hurt. I had to learn how to do everything through trial and error. I taught myself everything I didn't know, from how to do taxes, to how to tie a tie.
I had to do a lot of mental work to unlearn limiting beliefs that were instilled in me, including generational and cultural beliefs.
I had to grow up very fast, with my mom crying on my shoulder instead of the other way around. I had to be a guiding leading figure for my little sisters.
