Wow. So sad. The problem is, the kid will often try to either over-compensate, or give up completely.
And then the kid's future children will overcompensate in reaction, creating a cycle....and what is in some circles known as a 'generational curse.'
There is a bestselling book entitled Wild At Heart that deals with Biblical masculinity and manhood, there are also other books including one by James Dobson but I don't know the titles.
Jeepers. Thanks for the ping!
