REWIND: Fatherhood and forgiveness with Bill Gaston

023 Fathers are often held to a god like standard and judged harshly when they fall.   For young men coming into adulthood there is longing for something only their fathers can provide and without this transference the journey feels incomplete.  Bill Gaston is a Giller Nominated, award winning author and lecturer living in Victoria BC.  In his recent memoire, Just Let Me Look At You Bill reflects on the meaning of fatherhood, family secrets and forgiveness.  In this episode I talk with Bill Gaston about finding empathy for our all too human fathers, even after they have passed.  We also explore the unique blocks to intimacy and connection between fathers and sons.Follow Awake In Relationship on Instagram and TwitterIf you have been loving what you are hearing on AIR  please rate, review and subscribe to get the latest content fresh to your device.  Sign up for our newsletter at awakeinrelationship.com to learn about upcoming programs and events.Do you have suggestions for guests or feedback on the show?  Send us an email at [email protected] or better yet, fill out a brief audience survey  Thanks for listening, stay connected!
