In this episode of HEALn HELPDesk, in the Family Ties series, we’re diving deep into the reality of fatherless homes—the assumptions, the stigmas, and the lasting effects on individuals and families. Society often paints a single narrative about growing up without a father, but is it accurate? Together, we’ll explore the emotional, psychological, and generational impacts of absent fathers, while also challenging common misconceptions. How does the absence of a father shape identity, relationships, and resilience? Are children from fatherless homes truly at a disadvantage, or are they rewriting their own narratives? Through raw conversation, personal stories, and expert insights, we’ll uncover the truth behind Family Ties and the strength that emerges from adversity. Tune in as we break the cycle, shift perspectives, and heal forward!Atlanta-Area Resources for Fatherless Individuals 1 The Fatherless Generation Foundation Inc.
