What if the strongest thing a father can say is, “I can’t fix myself or my kids—but God can!” We lean into that risky honesty and discover how humility, confession, and grace reshape families facing addiction, secrecy, and shame. Guided by the story of the withered hand, we unpack why we hide our wounds, how stigma isolates sons and daughters, and what happens when dads go first and stretch out what they’ve been hiding.

• Naming addiction as a family reality, not just a child’s issue
• The withered hand as a picture of hidden shame
• Why powerlessness is the start of spiritual change
• Modeling confession and forgiveness to children
• Swapping lectures for listening and safety
• Boundaries that protect without enabling
• Prayer that admits limits and invites God in
• Creating a home where kids tell on themselves
• Practical next step: Acknowledge your hurt to God
