Description
Great fear and anxiety can stem from the trauma of an absent father. Absent-father syndrome can become a generational issue. It can also affect everything in our lives—perhaps most importantly, our intimate relationships. The key to breaking the cycle of hurt, misunderstanding, and loss is recognizing what belongs in the present—and what belongs in the past.
When we dare to embark on the healing journey, we open ourselves to making peace with our wounded past. This journey can deepen our present relationships and create real, lasting love with our partners. What wounded us in the past sometimes gives us the opportunity to grow in the future. Absent-Father Syndrome explores this trauma and the journey to healing.

It was very interested in reading this book due to the nature of it. It was interesting all the way thru. It was supported by great facts and actual events. I give this book a five stars out of five stars. I think the author did a fabulous job. I will be looking forward to reading the next novel that is written.

This book is hard to read, but I found myself described or rather, I saw my father and my relationship described and while it made me sad, it also explained a lot.
It is so important to understand a relationship with a parent and this book clearly shows how much research the author put in this book.
While there are several facts that threatens to bog down the book, somehow, all the data enhances the book instead of dragging it down.
A must read if you have lived with an absent father.

This book definitely gave me a lot to think about. I think it will find readership in our library, so we will be purchasing.

The book "Absent-Father Syndrome" delves into the profound impact that an absent father can have on individuals and their relationships. The author aptly highlights how unresolved issues stemming from paternal absence can perpetuate across generations, influencing various aspects of one's life, particularly intimate relationships.
The book offers insights into the complexities of this syndrome, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing past traumas to break the cycle of hurt and loss. It encourages readers to embark on a healing journey, acknowledging the pain of the past while striving for personal growth and healing in the present.
While the book effectively explores absent-father syndrome's emotional and psychological dimensions, some readers may find it lacks practical guidance or concrete strategies for navigating the healing process. Additionally, the text may resonate more strongly with individuals who have experienced paternal absence firsthand, potentially limiting its appeal to a broader audience.
Overall, "Absent-Father Syndrome" serves as a thought-provoking exploration of familial trauma and its implications for personal relationships, offering valuable insights for those seeking to understand and address the lasting effects of paternal absence.
