"Conclusion

There is a huge prevalence of fatherlessness which our society regards with equanimity, and in some cases promotes.

Fatherlessness is causally related to a range of adverse outcomes for children, many of which persist into adulthood.

Consequently, our society is complicit in widespread disadvantaging of children."

I can tell you the effect, looking in the mirror, seeing him in your reflection every day, every morning; realizing you share different looks, and actions with him. when i am upset, i breathe a certain way, the same way he does, it hurts me, because i know it hurts my mother, and that hurts me. I haven't learned things a 14 year old would the way most do. I learned how to work on a car by just doing it. No child should have to endure the absence of a parent.
