The Write Path #14 - Author of "Pretend They Are Dead." Steven Eichenblatt...

Steven Scott Eichenblatt is a trial lawyer, author, and father of five whose life has been shaped by a childhood marked by abandonment, trauma, and resilience. When he was eight, his biological father left the family on the advice of a psychiatrist who told him to “pretend they are dead.” Steven’s childhood that followed—marked by a volatile adoptive father and emotional instability—deeply influenced his lifelong commitment to protecting children and families.At sixteen, Steven unexpectedly crossed paths with his estranged father during a car crash he witnessed and kept secret for more than thirty years. Later in life, uncovering his father’s writings and the truth behind his disappearance offered both painful clarity and a complicated path toward forgiveness.Steven built a 30-year legal career centered on advocacy, serving as a Guardian ad Litem, volunteering for families of fallen 9/11 firefighters, and speaking to teens about navigating life’s challenges. His memoir, Pretend They Are Dead, explores the lasting effects of parental estrangement, the search for truth, and the determination to become a better father than the one he lost.Website:  https://www.stevenscotteichenblatt.com/Welcome to the Write Path Podcast, where being an author, an actual author, still matters.
