How to heal from the Pain of an Absent or Emotionally Distant Father
“Who’s going to take my dad’s place?” A dad-shaped hole in a child’s life is a chasm of uncertainty. A Father’s Day without a father can evoke feelings of abandonment, loss, and anger. It also can motivate a man to give his children what he never had: a father who is active and present.
If you did not have a present father growing up, how has this affected your approach to life? Bitter or better? Victim or victor? Even men who seem on top of the world can have an underlying “daddy gap” that festers and rears its ugly head from time to time. Healing begins with forgiveness and turning the circumstance over to God for good. Finding other good men to invest in you is helpful. A mentor goes a long way in providing what was missed.
In Season 1 Episode 2 of Beyond The Stethoscope, Dr. Unathi Makiwane is our guest and has functional solutions to share about healing from the father wound.
