Dear Dad: Letters To Out Fathers - Aikyna Finch - Bog

Dear Dad......It is often said that you are needed, but an explanation is not always given. It is often said the mother is always needed, but the need of fathers is overlooked. Our dad's struggle with misinformation when it comes from a place of resentment and reoccurring pain. We hope that the information can be received differently when it is coming from the children. Have you ever envisioned embracing the thoughts of have a relationship with your dad? Would you cancel plans with your friends, just to have quality time with him? Would it be rewarding if you and your father made the effort and time to get to know each other, instead of it feeling like a chore?Not having the best experience with the man who helped in creating you leaves you with question and seeking answers. You question and want to know what he was thinking and what has happened to him, in the past, to make him feel he was not needed. Children deserve to know the answers to the following questions: Did someone devalue your worth and make you feel like it was okay to disappear? Where you not equipped with the tools to be a dad?
