    What Was Lionel Dahmer Thinking? "A Father's Story" | Jeffrey Dahmer's Father | Book Summary & Analysis

    After reading the book "A Father's Story." by Jeffery’s father, Lionel Dahmer I knew I had to share it with you. We know Jeffery but let’s try to understand Lionel.

    In this deep dive, we explore the complex psychological forces that defined infamous killer Jeffrey Dahmer' father, Lionel Dahmer. Despite Lionel's horror at his son’s gruesome crimes, his reflections reveal early dysfunction in their connection. Lionel grapples with guilt over being an emotionally distant father who dismissed signs of Jeffrey’s distress.

    Though their relationship was clearly troubled, Lionel sees echoes of his own traumatic childhood in Jeffrey’s violent compulsions. As he recognizes parts of himself in his son, Lionel imagines they once shared a now-lost nurturing bond, allowing him to connect to an idealized memory of Jeffrey.
