[QUOTE="DDD, post: 96330, member: 35"] Another factor that often isn't seen until after the fact is... a young teenage boy who has a Dad who abandons the family does NOT get a positive message. The importance of the male to the teen can not be over emphasized. Some boys think that it makes them tough stuff to have run the Dad off. Some boys think that their Moms are wimps for not keeping the family together. Most boys feel rejected and unworthy when a parent leaves. A standard teenage male is NOT going to feel "warm and fuzzy" following a separation. Personally I think that a nonparticipatory father in the home is much better than an empty chair at the table. DDD PS: I do not mean violent parents just disenchanted parents! [/QUOTE]
