A silent son is a man who grew up in a dysfunctional family, denies he was negatively affected by the experience and continues to have problems in his life. He might come from a family that coped with violence, alcoholism, compulsive gambling, child abuse, verbal abuse, workaholism, divorce, extreme rigidity or a variety of other problems. His problems today could include an inability to maintain relationships or to control anger, a tendency towards workaholism or addiction, fear of intimacy, violent behaviour or low self-esteem. This book is designed to help all silent sons to redefine themselves and find a balance in their lives. The main themes addressed include masculinity and what it means, the impact our parents have on us, how our past affects our relationships and achieving our potential by awakening to the possibilities in our lives.
