"Children, it was said, are merely losing their parents in a different way than they used to. A surprising finding of recent social science research is that it is decidedly worse for a child to lose a father in the modern world voluntarily than through death."
Father's Day can be a mixed bag of emotions, especially for those grappling with complicated relationships or absence. In this thought-provoking episode of 'Patricia E Adams Live', Patricia dives deep into the profound impact fatherhood—or the lack thereof—has on men's lives. Did you know that 80% of men in prison have no relationship with their fathers? That's a staggering statistic that sheds light on the importance of paternal presence.
This episode doesn't just stop at the numbers; it explores the emotional and spiritual facets of fatherhood too. Patricia raises questions about what it means to be 'fathered' versus 'un-fathered', and how these experiences shape our lives. She shares a poignant story of a man whose tragic life might have been different if he'd had a stable father figure. But it's not all doom and gloom. Patricia also talks about the power of healing and letting go of past traumas.
Through stories of victims, survivors, and thrivers, she offers a roadmap to understanding and recovery. Whether you're reflecting on your own father or trying to make sense of fatherhood's broader impact, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a compassionate, insightful conversation that encourages us to look beyond the surface and find paths to healing.
