Mad at Daddy: How Father-Wounds Shape Motherhood & How God Heals Them

A powerful Christian guide to healing the wounds that shape motherhood.

So many women feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or strangely triggered in motherhood-without realizing the real root isn’t their child...it’s their father.

Whether your father was absent, emotionally unavailable, critical, inconsistent, or simply unable to love you well, those wounds don’t disappear when you become a mother. They resurface. They influence your emotions. They shape your parenting. And they quietly affect your children in ways you never intended.

In Mad at Daddy, Dr. Marlene Miles reveals how father-wounds impact motherhood and how God brings healing where earthly fathers failed. With compassion and clarity, this book helps you:

• Understand why old pain returns when raising your own children

• Identify patterns you never realized came from your childhood

• Recognize emotional triggers-and break the cycle

• Heal your heart with biblical truth and spiritual wisdom

• Become the mother you desire to be, without carrying your father’s shadow

Whether your father is gone, distant, broken, or still a part of your life, this book will guide you toward emotional freedom and spiritual restoration.

This is not a book about blaming fathers-
it’s a book about freeing mothers.

Perfect for individual reading, small groups, counseling support, and any woman who longs to love her children from a whole, healed heart.
