HOW HAS YOUR FATHER SHAPED YOU?

You feel that your father left you with a legacy of shame. Without a strong sense of stability in the home you are likely to have grown up feeling insecure and lacking in confidence. You may have felt reluctant to get close to others for fear that they will discover the real you, and you may be haunted by low self-respect. From time to time you may have struggled with self-destructive tendencies. With the desire to emancipate yourself from your father and everything he represents to you, over time you may have built up armour, viewing life as a series of battles. Ambitious and competitive, you tend to be hard on yourself and critical of others. You are likely to wrestle most with the courage to transform feelings of powerlessness and bitterness into hope and an affirmation of yourself and life.
