Hi Meg – a friend of ours recommended your book Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters many years ago. My husband read it and thought it was one of the best books he has read in a long time and one he re-reads periodically. On his high recommendation, I tried to read it but had to stop as it brought up too much resentment on what my father didn’t provide in my youth. I’m 45 now and still struggle in my relationship with him – and being a strong and loving partner to my husband. I’m staying focused on creating a “better” relationship with my father, but I get stuck sometimes. I know his childhood wasn’t easy, as he has made reference to abuse from his father. I try to stay focused on what he did provide and live in gratitude, but it’s hard. I know there are many people out there struggling with this. What insight could you offer that might help? Thank you for all you do.

Feeling Resentment

Dear Feeling Resentment-

I wrote Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters to help fathers but I also wrote it to help grown women like you. Here’s why.

Every little girl is born with needs…
