What impact does an absent father have on a child and their future relationships?

There is very little doubt the emotional stress a child can go through when growing up without their father in their life. At times, this is a result of unfortunate events, such as a parent passing away. But too often it’s the result of a father neglecting their responsibilities, which can be even harder on ones psyche. Over time, many children learn to cope with their feelings, but that doesn’t mean they have found healing from the pain of an absent father.

This deep emotional rift can play itself out in negative ways in future relationships if one is not healed.

In this podcast episode we have special guest Dr. Charles Dorsey to talk about his new book “Fathers and Sons Speak.” Charles has experienced the impacts of an absent father first hand, and after recently reconnecting with his father, desired to share the emotional rollercoaster it had on his life. He shares how this void impacted his relationship with his wife, how he approached healing, and even allowing God to start the process of reconciliation. This is a powerful and thought provoking podcast so be sure to listen from beginning to end.

Hosted by Pastor Brian Wallace and guest Dr. Charles Dorsey.
