Fathers are so very important for each of us that "When one has not had a good father one must create one." Good advice from Friedrich Nietzche. Fathers in American culture are often absent from child rearing.
John Bradshaw writes on his own longing for this important male role model, and Eminem, once questioned about his father stated, "My father? I never knew him, never seen a picture of him." This Father's Day consider this special relationship, honoring it's complications and importance. Consider the following attributes of the healthy, loving Father archetype: protection, direction, discipline, conditional love. And if you are fortunate in having a close, loving relationship with your father let him know!
