    I recently lost my brother inlaw to cancer. He left two kids 8 and 5. He was a great dad and my neice and nephew miss him very much. I think Tim Allen was a really good dad funny but loving!

    The funniest part of being a parent was learning what my daughters first word was. When my husband picked her up from daycare when she was about 9 months old, they told us she said her first word and they weren’t very happy about it. Evidently she was being held by a care giver and dropped her bottle. She looked down and said the “S” word. Hey…. at least she used it in context!!

    I married well. My husband Tim is the kind of man who gives until he can’t move a muscle and then does a little more for his family. When I was pregnant with our daughter I found out I had Lupus. I spent 30 days in the hospital when pregnant. He came by every day, made me laugh, brought movies and gifts, watched Judge Judy with me, and never complained. We had no idea it was just the beginning.

    Lupus, named for the wolf, is a hard disorder to live with. It is not uncommon to loose a spouse from this incurable disorder. Yet Tim has never wavered. He comes home from running a non-profit for seniors, and makes dinner. He entertains my daughter on weekends because I am too tired. And he has NEVER ONCE complained that I gained 100 pounds and lost my hair from eight years of high dose steroid and chemotherapy.

    I hope my daughter finds a man like her dad. He is amazing!

    As a single parent dad – the worst part of Christmas is seeing the saddness in my daughter as she struggles with the feelings she goes through because her mother does not want her in her life specially at christmas. The best part of Christmas is being thier for my daughter, and trying to make her dreams come true.

    Archie Bunker, who helped us laugh until we cried; and, allowed us to discuss his families behavior while we sat as a family around our TV, as well as the continuing discussions we all had later/even days later! What more could you ask of a celebrity (TV) dad than to spark the minds to question parents, family, childhood and the world views of each.

    Best father influence – the Lord! He loves, is merciful, and overwhlemingly generous; but also uses tough love when we need it. He comforts through sadness, pain, and loss; He teaches through creation, our conscience, and the innocence of children.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad. Connect with us at greatdad.com and watch the video version of these podcasts at YouTube.com/greatdadnews

169. Overcoming Childhood Trauma with Steven Scott Eichenblatt
byPaul Banas

In this powerful episode of Great Dad Talks, I speak with Steven Scott Eichenblatt about his gripping book, Pretend They’re All Dead. Steven shares his intense personal journey of growing up with an absent and then abusive father, overcoming extreme childhood trauma, and finding his way to becoming a supportive father himself.

We explore parental estrangement, generational trauma, and the lifelong impact of absence, along with how these experiences shaped Steven’s path as a lawyer and child advocate. He opens up about hard-earned lessons on presence, vulnerability, and why showing up for your children truly matters.

Whether you grew up with family challenges, are working to break cycles for your own kids, or just want to hear a raw and honest take on what it really means to be a father, this episode is for you.
