As The Father’s Cry Ministry conducts workshops throughout the world we are stunned at the desperate crying out of young women for their fathers. Statistics will demonstrate that young girls (and older women) will seek out the influence of a man of some shape or form to fill the gap of not having a daddy or an absent daddy. This blog is dedicated to helping men understand the desperate need for a healthy relationship with their daughter. The Mother’s Cry is committed to the restoration of women’s children to their fathers. |

If Only
Alright men, you’re hearing from the wife who lived in anguish over her perception of a man who had difficulty being the father her children needed. Women, if you are reading this, perhaps you can identify.
How many times did I listen to what kind of father children needed, only to feel like, “If only my husband could be that kind of dad...?” Rather than focus on what I had control of (being a good mom) I anguished over what I could not control. I was married to an “out of control” man who screamed at his family, struck fear in our home, and went from being wonderful to unpredictable at a moment’s notice. The wonderful revelation I had from early on was that I cannot control another person. I can only control how I react or RESPOND to that person. It is important to instill that in our children. How many mothers need to hear this?

Women Cannot Be Fathers
As much as we would like to believe it, Women cannot do everything. We cannot be everything. American culture has raised a society of females who believe they can be everything a man can be. Last time I checked, our anatomy was still different. Why would we believe our roles are not different? Do we really think we can be both a mother and a father...or that raising a child without a father is no big deal? That is dangerous thinking.

A Father’s Heart For Daughters
As the years have gone in my writing for the Indy, it might be common knowledge for those who follow this column that I am a dad of two grown sons. But lately, I have experienced a real burden for young women. In the loss of a daughter-in-law in a marriage, it made me evaluate a lot of things in our family and my son’s marriage. I think I generally liked what I saw in their marriage and in some instances; I wished things could have been a little different. There go those words: I had Wished. In fairness to her, I bet the same is true for her. It is odd how things worked out: I really accepted her as the daughter we didn’t have in a family of all boys. I called her my daughter. I learned a lot about girls and their wounds in life and how they are carried over in life and in marriages.
