Honest and supportive

I found this audiobook, thoughtful, and easy to listen to. It does a good job of explaining how growing up without a father can affect daughters in different ways, both emotionally and in relationships. What I appreciate it most is that it didn’t just focus on the impact, but also offered helpful ways to work through those feelings and start healing. The author’s tone felt understanding and supportive throughout. I finished the audiobook feeling more aware and more hopeful. It’s a great lesson if you’re looking for clarity and encouragement around this topic. It really helped me.

Impactful

A very well-done book on a tough topic. The tone is appropriate so that the information does not feel too heavy. It's a very constructive audiobook that doesn't just dwell on the negative ways your life might have been impacted (some you might not have connected to your father's absence), but it also gives tools to succeed and truly be at peace with this absence. It's a very hopeful listen that I highly recommend to anyone looking for some closure and to move forward productively.

Helping my new adopted daughter

My daughter does a great job pretending it's ok, but after listening to this book, I realize it's not. The book delves deep into the psyche and finds the little things that seem to add up to bigger things and cause troubles with relationships. I have no idea what it's like to grow up with an absent father, but my new adopted daughter did. I found this book to better understand what she is going through and how powerful having a father around is

As a Dad, This Hit Me Hard!

Listening to this book as a father opened my eyes to things I hadn’t fully considered. It made me think about the kind of emotional impact my presence—or absence—can have on my daughter’s life. The stories, research, and real talk made it clear: being physically there isn’t enough. I need to be emotionally present too. This book wasn’t just for daughters—it was a wake-up call for fathers. Every dad needs to hear this. Your presence matters more than you know.

Finally Felt Seen and Understood

Listening to this brought up a lot of emotions I didn’t expect but in a good way. It felt like someone finally put words to things I’ve felt for years but couldn’t explain. The voice was warm and steady which made it easier to sit with the harder parts. I paused a few times to reflect or just breathe through certain chapters. I didn’t feel rushed or judged which made all the difference. After finishing it I felt lighter like I had a better understanding of myself and where some patterns really came from.

Deeply Insightful and helpful

Listening to The Absent Father Effect on Daughters was honestly one of the most healing experiences I’ve had. I didn’t realize how much my relationship with my father , or really, the lack of one, had shaped so many parts of my life until I heard the words in this audiobook. It felt like someone was finally putting language to feelings I’ve carried for years but couldn’t explain.

What really stood out to me was how gentle and understanding the author’s approach was. I didn’t feel judged or blamed. Instead, I felt seen. I’ve always struggled with low self-worth and choosing partners who weren’t good for me, and for the first time, I truly understood where that came from. Listening to this helped me connect the dots and gave me a kind of permission to stop carrying the shame I’ve felt for so long.

The audiobook gave me a sense of comfort and validation that I honestly didn’t know I needed. I’ve listened to it twice now, and each time, I take away something new. If you grew up with an emotionally or physically absent father, I can’t recommend this enough. It helped me start a healing process I’ve put off for years, and I’m really grateful for that.

helped me connect the dots and start healing

Listening to this audiobook felt like putting words to feelings I’ve carried for years. It dives deep into the emotional impact of growing up without a father and explains how those early experiences can shape relationships, self-worth, and even decision-making.

What I appreciated most was how it didn’t just point out the struggles—it also offered ways to move forward. Some parts were tough to hear, but they were necessary. It gave me a new perspective on certain patterns in my life and, more importantly, the motivation to break them.

If you’ve ever questioned how your past might still be affecting you today, this is definitely a valuable listen.
