Book excerpt: On the fraught bonds between daughters and their fathers, women and the patriarchywomen patriarchy In this beguiling, incisive book, critically acclaimed writer Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking how the mixture of love and hatred we feel toward our fathers—and patriarchal father figures—can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive. Moving deftly between psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers, women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this discomfiting space of love and hate—and how are we to reckon with both fealty and rebellion? As in her earlier book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, Angel proves herself to be one of the most perceptive feminist writers at work today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carrie Cantwell grew up with an unstable father who suffered from manic depression. His emotional absence left her wounded and yearning for his affection. To make matters worse, she struggled with unexplainable mood swings of her own. As a child, she was hyperactive and attention-seeking. By her twenties she was engaging in reckless behavior to quiet her inner demons. When Carrie was 24, her father died by suicide, and she was hit with her first major depressive episode. When she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, her heart sank. It felt like a death sentence. At age 38 and in a failing, abusive marriage, she tried to end her own life. Once discharged from an inpatient institution, she promised herself she'd never go back. Carrie made the same mistake her father had, but she'd gotten a second chance at life. She vowed not to squander it. She began a long journey of recovery by finally coming to terms with her daddy issues and the severity of her own mental illness. Carrie exposes a runaway roller coaster of emotions through brutally honest, raw recounting of soaring highs and crushing lows. Through powerful scenes of self-destruction and recovery, she invites readers into her turbulent and fragile inner world. Daddy Issues: A Memoir is a story of forgiveness and absolution, about how mental illness tore apart a father and daughter but was ultimately the very thing that brought them together.

Download or read book Recovery from Anger Addiction written by Verryl V. Fosnight and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Presents a Paradigm Shift About Toxic Anger: Anger Is An Addiction Using the wisdoms of John Bradshaw, Pia Mellody, Claudia Black, Alice Miller, and many other recovery giants, Verryl grew to understand himself in the context of his past traumas. He was finally able to apply all the theories of these authors to heal his anger and rage. This expansion of theory to the emotion of toxic anger results in a revolutionary new concept of anger as an addiction. This paradigm shift empowers a person to recover from rage as an ill person seeking to be well, as opposed to a bad person trying to act better. Telling yourself you are a bad person is a self-defeating message to your inner self, but an ill person can get well. He presents this new, simple, and enlightened treatment for anger in easy to follow language. Ultimately these conclusions are illustrated as a set of simple diagrams that outline the full path of angers development starting from the core emotion of pain from early losses through raging behavior that is life damaging. Using the revolutionary model of anger as an addiction, he demonstrates that anger can be healed. There is no need to rationally manage toxic anger (while remaining a bad person). Toxic anger practically evaporates as an emotional impulse as the underlying pain is resolved in the good, but ill person. Included: Research survey paper on Anger Management classes by Desiree Harris, M. C.

Book excerpt: Where Was Daddy When You Needed Him? The absence of fathers is an epidemic plaguing our society, affecting families from every corner of our world and from all walks of life. Whether our fathers left us entirely during our childhood or were physically present but emotionally distant, those who missed out on an affirming, intimate father-love continue to experience the devastating consequences of that loss. • Are you angry at the world and don’t know why? • Do you inadvertently sabotage relationships or smother those closest to you? • Do you rarely take risks or step out on faith? • Is there an undercurrent of anxiety in most tasks you perform? • Do you struggle to connect with God? • Do you have little or no self-confidence–or minimal self-worth? For women who answer yes to these questions, the common denominator is often an absent father. Far too many daughters have been stripped of a healthy relationship with their earthly dad. But real healing is within your reach. Discover how the absence of your father has impacted your entire life–your attitude, your actions, your beliefs, your decisions, and your identity–and learn how you can stop resulting negative behaviors, beak free, and experience a confidence-building, empowering love that will heal your hurts and fulfill your deepest longings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good girls get cuddled. Bad girls get spanked... then cuddled. FIONA I never knew my father. I've never called anyone Daddy before. So... when I did it for the first time as a joke to Grey, my best friend's older brother, it was like all of a sudden something clicked. It was hot. It was right. It made me crave more. I may be an eighteen year old virgin with no real experience to speak of, but I've got quite the imagination... And I've read plenty of romance novels to know exactly what I'd like to do with Grey. I know what I want him to do to me, too. Please, Daddy... I promise I'll be a good girl... GREY Why is my little sister's best friend waltzing around our house wearing the skimpiest "outfit" I've ever seen? Don't ask. Not that I'm complaining, either. She has a body that's just begging to be dominated, bent over my bed, while I tell her what a naughty girl she is. Fiona turns me on so much it hurts. I'm not putting up with this tease any longer. At first I rolled my eyes at her little "joke" but the more she calls me Daddy, the more perfect it feels. "Daddy" means more to her than I thought possible. It's not about being a father. It's not being a father figure, either. It's like being everything. Love, lust, and all that's in between. Why am I so tempted? Who knows, but I want to be her Daddy forever.
Download or read book Daddy Issues written by Cole Brown and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase has become a cultural cliché and a punchline. But if your father was absent, abusive, or aloof, you know daddy issues are no laughing matter. Regardless of your gender, ethnicity, age, religion, or culture, the failures of our fathers wound us deeply - and those wounds do not simply go away with time. They follow us wherever we go. They impact our relationships with God and others. They influence how we view ourselves and our world. At times they seem to wield unshakeable control. Yet there is good news: God desires to heal your father wounds. He speaks truthfully and powerfully into each of them with the gospel of Jesus Christ, which alone has the power to close these festering wounds and free you from their control. Daddy Issues both diagnoses the wounds caused by absent, abusive and aloof fathers and dresses them with the healing power of God's words. Open the book and allow the Great Physician to do his work. To help leaders we have included a DISCUSSION GUIDE following each section.
