EP168 Billou & Arpa: The Stages Of A Father-Son Relationship, PBD Vs. A. Justin Sterling

Written By Chris Rodd

A son's relationship with his father takes him through phases of Idolizing (hero), competition, demonizing (fuck you dad), and ultimately, humanizing. The journey starts with a rebellious departure from the father's guidance. It evolves toward success and a deepened understanding of his father protective intentions. The whole process results in an "amend" phase, where the son reflects on his father’s influence—even if it was harsh or abusive—and recognizes the lessons embedded in those experiences. It concludes with thanking his father for his lessons.  

In a messed up world like ours, the best lessons are usually learned the hard way. Even though the world seems better, danger still exists in unexpected ways. There are always wolves lurking in the bushes. So, sons can't just go out and get free candy out there. If they don’t take responsibility & pay their own bills, there will be no one to help them. 

Sovereign Man welcomes all unclear men who do not know where they are. It helps them find their path and grow, as society needs strong fathers, strong sons and solid men.
