What happens when the child you love won’t speak to you anymore? When the hurt runs deep—and it’s your fault? John Heinen and Devin Schadt go deep into one of the hardest realities a Catholic father can face: seeking forgiveness from a child who’s been wounded by your failure. Drawing from personal experience, they walk through the steps of Recognize, Repair, and Rebuild—offering practical and spiritual insight for men who want to restore trust without forcing the outcome. This truth works for children from 18 months to adulthood.

This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a call to live with humility, pursue the heart of your child, and become the kind of father they can one day forgive—even if they never say the words.
