"30 years obeying, 3 years teaching, 3 hours redeeming. Thus He put a premium upon obedience. So the secret of the home is for the parents to say to the children 'You must obey me because I am responsible to God for you.'"-Fulton Sheen

I remember being young and actively rebuking my belief in god, right about the time I lost faith in dear old dad too (never out 2 and 2 together before now) so that seems to make sense. Luckily was able to find my way back to the the Good Lord who welcomed me with open arms

There’s always a way back.

Fathers are ordained priests of the Domestic Church. They can bless their children. Many forget this.

They'll search for anything to fill that father sized hole. It's a good bet alcohol or drugs will be part of that search.

When you can’t trust your earthly father how can you trust your Heavenly Father? Great point Adam.

Ephesians 6:4 "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." If parents are dysfunctional -or absent- they act as a stumbling block to their children and will have to answer for it before God.

Two thoughts in response to this. 1) If you don’t know the work, you may be interested in Paul Vitz’s Faith of the Fatherless. Vitz demonstrates how most of the founding thinkers of modern atheism had no or estranged relations with their fathers:https://www.amazon.com/Faith-Fatherless-Psychology-Paul-Vitz/dp/1586176870/ …

2) A brief meditation: What kind of man must St Joseph be, if his role in salvation history was to model God the Father to God the Son???
