What begins as one father's heartbreaking attempt to stay connected to his children after a bitter divorce becomes a searing expose of systemic alienation, control, and the weaponization of love. In The Patriarch Hath Spoken, Ed Rodriguez and Robbie Grayson confront a disturbing reality: in today's family courts and faith-based communities, parental authority too often stretches far beyond childhood-manipulating adult children through legal, religious, and cultural proxies.

Drawing on cultural modes of behavioral conditioning and the archetypal story of Moses, the authors suggest that many authority figures unintentionally perpetuate feelings of guilt and helplessness, not through violence, but through silence. Told with raw honesty and unwavering resolve, this book examines how moral posturing fractures families and robs grown children of their freedom to choose, ultimately leading to an eventual reconnection with the family.
