But, what if his best wasn\u2019t good enough? What if his best still left you ashamed, angry, and grieving, years and years after you stopped living under his roof? What if he was a \u201cgood man\u201d who failed your terribly? Do you allow yourself to acknowledge that pain and frustration? If you don\u2019t, it\u2019s likely that the unhealed wounds from your relationship with your father are continuing to play out in your relationships and friendships to this day. Many of us find that the only way out of those dysfunctional patterns is through the pain you felt as a child. Once you do that, you begin to see your father in a whole new light and find freedom from your past. Dan and author Rick Belden talk about the father wound as a series of complex, emotional injuries to a child\u2019s psyche over many years. Along the way, they share some of the insights they\u2019ve gained in the process of forgiving their less-than-nurturing fathers, and offer some practical tips for beginning the process of facing and overcoming the pain.
