Fathering Discussions in the Social World
The Fatherhood Project's Director Raymond Levy, PsyD., and his research team attended and participated as judges at The Moth StorySlam: Fathers event in Cambridge on June 18, 2013. The evening featured true stories told live on stage by adult volunteers without scripts, notes, props or accompaniment. Standing in the spotlight, storytellers engaged the audience with a combination of humorous and deeply emotional tales of their most important positive and painful personal experiences with their fathers. Themes of speakers' stories included regret and guilt at failure to express love to one's father on his death bed, children's strong connection when seeing fathers' emotional vulnerability, sons and daughters drawing on fathers' strength and courage in times of need and the importance of male self-restraint when angry at a father.
