Sitting with Anger, Searching for Healing

“The absence of a father in our homes can sow the seeds of deep and complex emotions within us. One of the most persistent of these emotions is anger... It’s crucial to recognize that anger is a valid and powerful emotion. It’s okay to sit with these feelings and acknowledge the hurt that lies beneath them.”
