Fathers are essential parent figures for many reasons. Firstly, they are the masculine role model that their child needs. If a father is not present, their son will grow up unaware of what it means to be a man. Fathers also provide aid with discipline, which is especially important in early childhood to help children develop self-restraint. Finally, fathers have the power to shape their child’s future by being supportive and aspirational figures within the family unit.

When you can’t see a positive outcome from your situation, you may develop thoughts of violence. It’s normal to feel angry or upset about your situation. But if you find yourself taking this out on others, harming people, or thinking of violence, it’s time to speak to a mental health professional.

[SIZE=6]Psychological Effects Of Growing Up Without A Father Figure[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Son Growing Up Without A Father[/SIZE]
Without an essential male role model, boys may experience issues affirming their way of life as a male. When they reach adulthood they may have difficulties starting their own families. They also face problems in figuring out what their familial role is and how to thus best serve their family. A father is someone that helps boys to identify themselves with someone and then he starts to internalize his father’s traits. So fathers provide building blocks that a boy needs to become a man. If such a situation happens where a boy doesn’t get to have a father figure around then there are chances that he may start identifying his mother and may become an emasculated male or he can go to other extremes, becoming a man who hates women and engages into destructive behavior.
In other news… what are these young men talking about.? I dont understand what they are saying.
Your intentions are noble, but such intentions need to be kept secret. Otherwise that will now incentivize the mother to use the kids as a weapon in bad times. The painful truth of long term relationships is that women will always look for how they can get to you mentally, and you must make sure that the only way they can do so is through reasoned arguments
Lack of father figure in our African homes today is the biggest factor in the emergence of our cesspit…no matter how smart or independent a woman is parenthood without a father figure is hard and sometimes disastrous that’s how you end up with sissy men like @Lionheart who can only get his confidence from the approval the white dick loving bitch @TrumanCapote
Father’s are not always there. Mama ndio hufunza watoto nidhamu… kuenda choo, kuoga, kufua, kupika, kujipigania…hata asubuhi ni mother huamsha mtoto aende shule, afanye homework akirudi, Yani mama ndio Kila kitu Kwa mtoto. A father does almost nothing other than kusaka mbesha azitoshangi…na kuwa na hasira juu ya daily frustrations so his relationship with the kids is not always good. @Muthafari, you are who you are because of your mum and not your dad…
Your post is based on findings in a developed country. We need findings from a locally done research.
Father’s have their roles to play in children’s life a very important role i keep on saying we should take some lessons from our traditional African culture like for us Kikuyu a man was not supposed to drink until he had a home,family he could take care of and a heir above the circumcision age…the old folk new what life was about even marrying many wives was accepted in all African cultures coz they knew men are dogs but they are important dogs in society
Huku nje naona wababa very irresponsible, kazi ni kulewa tu, sa kama hao wanaweza ambia watu nini na ndio are the majority. Mujamaa ni mlevi chakari anatusi watu. Akiwa sober ametulia tuli tuli.
Nope but kwetu tuko wengi, mzae had four wives. Tuko watoi seventeen. My mum died nikiwa fifteen. Mzae alipass 15 years later. My opinion are based on what I observe out there.
