Inhaltsangabe

Imagine a son or daughter who realizes dad has chosen work, sports, or other addictions instead of them. This is abandonment―and the consequences will leave a negative life-long legacy. But there is a solution. It's not an easy road, but it's not impassable. The Legacy of Absence explores the ways in which involvement and reconciliation can heal the wounds created by a distant father, and turn even a physically absent father into one who is involved with all aspects of his child's life. Author Tim Olson has spent 53 years as a teacher, principal, pastor, and life coach studying, observing, and researching family relationships and father/child dynamics. He will help readers discover:• the sources of anger, not just how to manage it• the 4 types of fathers• how a home without an involved father typically results in poorer education, health, financial security, and many more affecting the spouse and children• that real masculinity is not what society says it is• how good or bad fathering is learned primarily by observing our own fathers• what the father wound is and how everyone who has a father gets it• the sources of identity, transference, and misogynyAn uninvolved father may not have chosen his child, but it is never too late for change. The Legacy of Absence can help.
