Surviving the Absent Father

“I didn’t make you my Daddy, my Momma did”, is how Guy Wheeler begins to address the issues of growing up in a fatherless home. During this fast paced two-part video, Wheeler makes it a point to recognize that even when a father is in the home, he can still be emotionally and physically absent.
Surviving the Absent Father addresses substance abuse and emphasizes that an important part of recovery is learning to recognize and confront the feelings of anger, resentment and frustration towards the father who abandoned you during childhood. In talking about the “absent father”, Wheeler discusses how the family structure is disrupted and how children seek love and attention from others, often seeking street attention by joining street gangs, and how girls often get involved in different relationships seeking a father figure.

Wheeler emphasizes the importance of learning to recognize how this relationship has impact your life, how suppressed anger towards your father can lead to destructive behaviors, and the importance of recognizing your hurt and learning to forgive your father. 2 video Set
