Why do fathers provoke their children? It seems only because they are in a position of authority over the child that they can do as they want. Besides, didn’t their fathers provoke them?
Looking at the child, it is not always easy to see the long-term damage that is taking place inside their little hearts.
Many times, the father himself has not matured enough to be able to parent properly. Now what happens when finally, father realizes his mistakes?
He can confront his children and apologize, or he can leave things as they are. This way the child stays with the wounds that have cut his heart to pieces. Not only does the child keep on living the pain, but eventually he may treat his own kids in the same way.
How are you fathering your children? Are you going to build their futures, or break them?
