    This New Dad is Breaking Generational Cycles By Being Present

    Aaron Archer, a new dad and nurse practitioner in Knoxville, shares with Barry how he learned to be a father after growing up without a present father. Aaron shares meeting his wife Abby through hospital orientation, building a nursing career, and welcoming their daughter Ava. He defines fatherlessness primarily as lack of presence, describes his parents’ divorce amid abuse and addiction, and explains how his single mom Rebecca provided love, sacrifice, and stability while raising three kids. Aaron discusses identity, “father hunger,” performance-driven striving, and the need to address wounds so they don’t spread, comparing healing to treating physical wounds. He emphasizes modeling faith through actions, seeking mentors, and “turning the chair” to break generational patterns.
