What is We Are the Fatherless all about?

Well, I grew up without a Dad. Ok, that’s not entirely accurate. I have a Dad, but he wasn’t around when I was growing up and that provided me with some challenges in life – some that I still have to deal with on a daily basis. I know there are a lot of you out there in the same, or a very similar, situation so I decided to start this site to connect with you and hopefully we can learn some stuff together.

This is my life and I am responsible for how I live it – I can’t blame anything I do, or the way I deal with situations on anybody else – so this isn’t a pity party or  a place to complain or make excuses for how difficult life is or why I have some of the character flaws that I do, but rather a place to talk about real issues that exist and how to deal with them. It’s also not a place to bash my father for the past, or anyone elses for that matter. I respect my father and understand a lot of the reasons for a lot of his actions. That doesn’t mean that those actions didn’t have any repercussions, but it also doesn’t mean I don’t love my Dad.

For the record, I am a Jesus loving man and I couldn’t have dealt with a lot (most) of the stuff I have if it wasn’t for Him. What does that have to do with anything? Well,  I just think it’s fair for people to know that up front for those who are averse to that point of view, but I don’t expect you to love Jesus or agree with what I believe and I’m stoked to connect with anyone, no matter your point of view.

I hope you enjoy the site and my posts!
