Being a Father in Midlife
Fatherhood keeps changing as children grow, and midlife can bring new questions about the kind of father you are.
Changing roles
Teenage and adult children need different things than young children do. You may feel less needed, more criticized, or unsure how to stay close. You might also notice your own father's influence showing up in ways you did not expect.
Looking at your own history
How you were parented often shapes how you parent. Therapy can help you look at that inheritance, keep what you value, and understand reactions that seem to come from somewhere older.
Fatherhood and partnership
