Download or read book Healing for Daughters of Emotionally Absent Fathers written by Vincenzo Venezia and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has your father caused you immense pain? Did the man who was supposed to cherish, support, and shield you from harm inflict traumas that still impact your life today? Do you find yourself struggling daily to recover from the harm he has caused? Growing up as a daughter with an emotionally distant father can be a challenging and isolating experience; you may suffer from low self-worth, anger, depression and feelings of worthlessness. There are numerous ways in which fathers can be emotionally detached from their daughters, such as through divorce, career obligations, military service, addictions, severe physical or mental illness or even death. It is possible that such men are narcissists who constantly criticised you, attempted to manipulate and control you, or were abusive. Alternatively, they could have been old-fashioned fathers who communicated their desires through actions rather than words. Perhaps they were unresponsive when you needed them the most. They may have provided for your basic needs but were otherwise absent. Adult daughters with emotionally distant fathers often recognise that something is amiss but fail to see the long-term consequences on themselves, their romantic relationships, their friendships and their professional lives. Consider reading this book if you identify with any of these behaviours in your father: · They only acknowledge your physical needs, not your emotional ones. · They speak to you in a monotonous, disinterested voice. · They make harsh and critical remarks. · They do not listen or show interest in your life. · They never praise or celebrate your accomplishments. · They never spend time alone with you. · They rarely express affection through hugs or smiles. · They are preoccupied when with you, due to work, TV, or their phone. · They struggle with addiction to alcohol or other substances. · They prioritise unnecessary expenses over your needs. · They are unable to manage their emotions or express their feelings. · They are defensive and reluctant to accept differing opinions. · They blame you for their shortcomings or errors. · They refuse to take accountability for their actions. · They deny reality when confronted about their behaviour, making you feel irrational. These are just a few examples of the most prevalent indicators. Family dynamics can be complex and diverse. The damaging effects of an emotionally absent father are rarely discussed. It is crucial to bring attention to these types of fathers! You may be experiencing the following as a result: · Anger and disappointment due to the lack of affection and support you deserved. · Feelings of being unloved, inadequate, and worthless. · Isolation, without the support of a network of caring family members. · Confusion regarding your experiences and emotions. In romantic relationships, women with absent fathers may recreate past patterns, struggling to form lasting connections with partners who don't value or respect them. Can you heal from the unseen childhood wounds caused by an emotionally absent father? Thankfully, this guide offers methods to enable you to recognise and break negative patterns while fostering healthier ones that suit you. It is crucial to do this for yourself, your loved ones and your future children. This book was written for you and it will aid your healing process.

Download or read book Father Hunger written by Robert McGee and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-24 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're looking for a "feel good" book about father and child relationships, this isn't it. If you and your father have had a little spat and are still holding a grudge against each other, find another resource to help you. This book is for:· People who as children didn't receive the quality and quantity of love they wanted and deserved from their fathers· Others who currently relate to such people· Since fathers are only human, these two categories include just about everyone. If children fail to receive enough love from their fathers, they carry the painful effects for a long time-usually for the rest of their lives. Our natural tendency is to block out the painful past. But the wound is too severe. While the hurt may be suppressed for a time, it will eventually emerge, frequently in unexplained and undesired ways. As we form relationships with a spouse or offspring or anyone else, the unresolved pain from the past will cause emotional havoc in the present. My first goal in this book is to help you recognize and release any pent-up pain that that is based on an inadequate relationship with your father. Not only must you think about things you've been trying so long to forget but you must also face other long-buried memories and emotions, which will be dredged up in the process. In most cases, this will not be a pleasant or an easy task. The second goal is to help the reader get past the pain, restoring emotional health and freedom. If you identify the problem of father hunger in your own life, choosing to deal with it can be quite traumatic. Yet, when you're finally able to quit dodging the feelings that haunt you, and confront the issue head-on, you can move forward with your life.

Download or read book The Dad Who Fathered Me written by Verna Benjamin-Lambert and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age when so many children have been robbed of the opportunity to be fathered by dads who can be looked upon as heroes, The Dad Who Fathered Me, presents cherished memories of a dad who successfully fathered his nine children. It reveals the multiple roles played by a father as seen by one of his daughters. In this book, Albert Benjamin is viewed first, as a dad who provided the genetic ingredients for life; then as an ever-present father who lived and modeled what it takes to be a hero to his children. His many exemplary moments were captured through his scriptural teachings, the empathy he showed for others, his service to his community, providing for his family and others, his unfailing love to his wife and his dedication to his father. Memories shared in this book can serve to help absentee fathers understand the importance of giving their children the gift of a hero. Fathers are specially created beings who are appointed to accomplish a task that can set the tone for a successful and wholesome life for their children and generations to come. Dr. Benjamin-Lambert believes that a father's lasting impact can only be accessed through the deeds and truths he practices and lives by. Through an examination of what a man believes and the life he has lived based on those beliefs, his children are able to realize the gift of his legacy.
