How I Learned to Forgive My Dad for Leaving with Leonardo L.T. Lightbourne
•
Dr. LaMarr Darnell Shields
Watching your dad or mom walk out the door with all of their stuff isn’t easy.
Knowing they aren’t coming back for you is an even harsher, more numbing, reality to grapple with. You’re left with questions like, Is there something wrong with me? Were we not fun to be around? Was I not enough?
When loss, violence or betrayal test our willingness to forgive — how do we do it anyway? This hour, Dr. Shields sits down with Leonoardo L.T. Lightbourne and explores the challenges and benefits of forgiving others and ourselves.
Leonardo Lightbourne is a content creator, speaker, activist, mentor, writer & author of “It’s Not a Man’s World: How I conquered the sins of my father,” and founder of Open Thought, a non-profit organization.
