I've typically had an on again, off again relationship with my Father. It's not easy and sometimes I feel like a real asshole because I don't' have a great relationship with him. Then I realized, it takes two to show up in the arena to play the Father/Son game and I can only be responsible for how I show up and face my Daddy issues. I've chosen at this stage of life not to show up - for many reasons - but I'm also keenly aware that I am letting my Daddy issues go without guilt or shame.As the Holidays are upon us, I thought I'd share my tools for dealing with my Daddy issues, even at age 56 in the hopes that this will help another man struggling with his own Daddy issues.Hey Guys, Check This Out!Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?
