Life Over Coffee Devotions
The children appear to cope with their father’s limited interaction, but their five-year-old son, Biffy, shows signs of worry and insecurity. Biffy loves his dad but is confused by Biff’s cyclic behavior and relational distance. Recently, he asked his mom if his dad was mad at him. Though Mable reassured him, Biffy seemed unconvinced.
Mable reveals that Biff has always struggled with anger, even before they married. His silent treatment has been his primary way of expressing frustration or dissatisfaction. Biff’s behavior is deeply hurtful to Mable, who experiences his neglect and dismissiveness. She has described it as a sanitized version of murder, echoing James 4:1-3.
