The passive father

The passive father is at home without being at home. He usually does not care about his family’s affairs, and does not hug and kiss his children as much. A passive father is usually a workaholic. He does not share his hopes, dreams, and hurt with his wife, and does not share a relationship with his children. He might tell them he loves them without really showing it.

Children with a passive father struggle to believe that God is interested in their daily life. He feels far and impersonal to them. These types of children grow up with a spirit of rejection, and might one day become a passive parent themselves.
