You're exactly right, that people can't help themselves. If the problem manifests internally, then how are you to solve it internally? That's the whole reason Jordan checked into drug rehab. Solutions to internal problems need external attention. A conversation with yourself isn't going to be as useful as a conversation from someone with a different perspective.
I've listened to probably a hundred hours of Peterson by now, and haven't come across anything suggesting fathers not loving their children. You'd need to provide the source. His comments regarding spending time with his children seem to suggest that loving them is of high value, and that when they aren't doing well, is a source of the worst pain.
BTW- paying bills is love... and you might be getting confused with a Chris Rock comedy piece where keeping the lights on so children can read is dad's responsibility, but getting the kids to read is mom's.
