Why Fathers Leave (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Percy Ricketts | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Children that are raised without fathers are known to encounter significant challenges in many areas of their lives. Even so, almost 25 million children in America live in homes without fathers - a distinction that makes America the country with the most absent fathers on the planet. Why are so many fathers absent? The phenomenon is very complex. It also represents only a small portion of a much larger systemic problem in this society that is closely associated with our single-mother-focused culture. This culture, has historically placed very little value on the importance of fathers and the unique difference that their presence makes in families. Fathers, however, are groomed to keep their feelings quiet. Hence, they rarely express how marginalized and devalued they often feel in their families. Mothers, on the other hand, have been expressing negative views about fathers for decades. But their versions of the story do not always give the full picture. In this volume, over 200 fathers of diverse backgrounds, candidly share their versions of the story - in their own words.
