NOTE: Here's another page from the "alphabetized reference section" of the new book I'm writing for pastors, Pastoring Men. It's a little scary writing an article with no biblical reference. Let me know what you think. Not many of us want to talk badly about our mothers-I know I feel guilt even writing this first sentence. However, when my mother passed away I confess that I did not feel anything. That was odd, so I went to Christian counseling. My counselor concluded that I was not a product of good parenting (she said I was a "miracle," though my wife may disagree!). Essentially, I was not mothered. There was a lack of touch, verbal affection, and time, which indicate a betrayal-even if not intended. The full article is available FREE to registered users. Please SIGN UP or LOGIN to view. |
