I remember being introduced to the concept of the "Father Wound" many years ago and thinking it was a bunch of nonsense...
Years of experience in talking to men has proven otherwise. Much of what men struggle with in their quest to be "real men" and subsequently passing it on to their boys centers around this important relationship.
It is important for all men to know:
Only a father (or a surrogate or substitute father) can affirm a man's masculinity and make him feel that he's a man. Neither fame nor fortune nor all the women in the world can ever do this for him. Only a father's love can.
Here's a short article explaining the concept, the consequences, and how to begin to heal.
