Girls who grow up in a household with a decent,admirable father learn,among other things: how husbands treat their wives with respect,how fathers treat their daughters with respect...and other important things as well.
We know this lady, who worked for 2 sheriff’s departments to monitor and help children in broken homes. She did this for 30+ years.
According to her anyhome without a father/male figure often put the kids at risk.
She said the most dangerous fatherless home, was one where a man, who was not the father and in particular at a home where the male was abusive and used alcohol and drugs on a regular basis. These so called adult males often hated the children of other men.
In summary:
Besides (1) the “absent father”
a “fatherless home” sometimes has
(2) an occupant-Male but in terms of the children’s emotional and instructional needs is actually absent,
Often the occupant male is (3) a bad (abusive, alcoholic, drug addict, criminal) person. Having that type of occupant-male/father was often worse than a father who was not there at all.
This woman blamed LBJ and his Great Society which destroyed more families than helping them.
There was little that was “great” about the “great society” besides the great amount of spending it involved.

LBJ was a role model of an absolutely horrible president and and as a terrible human being.
“LBJ was a role model of an absolutely horrible president and and as a terrible human being.”
He represented the FDR wing of the Democrats and they did not trust the Kennedys. FDR sent JFKs dad to be ambassador to Great Britain, to keep him out of Washington D.C.
But Lee Harvey Oslwald gave the FDR wing what they wanted - an old FDR hand who was talented at getting things done in Congress (good at all the corruption and “horse trading”). He continued to use those talents as President.
Not that absent fathers are not a problem, they are. Perhaps one of the biggest problems in this country.
But in mass shooters what you find is that they are always liberals.
A conservative knows they are responsible for themselves and have a balanced attitude toward the world. It is not unjust but it is indifferent. Bad things will just happen. It is not a case of someone has it in for you because you stubbed your toe, your homework fell out of your backpack, you planned to do something and it rains. You are not the whipping boy of the universe but you are not the favorite child either. You will have good and bad fortune.
There are times when those bad things will be caused by other humans. Small slights, unjust accusations, losing because the other guy cheated, it is all part of life. And it hurts. But everyone goes through that. The world is unfair, accept it and move on. Try to improve where you can.
The liberal thinks that the world is naturally fair, just and wonderful. If things go wrong it is because someone else made it bad. And that someone else must be punished. It is extreme narcissism. The world revolves around them.
When did this kind of subject start being news and stop being common sense?? If anyone really needs to be reminded that a fatherless home esp in the big city USA...is for any young man a very confusing/depressing place to be...they are in a sad place indeed.

Wars have always left a lot of fatherless children.
Everyone is also leaving abusive mothers who use the kid(s), most often alienating the kid(s) from the father for revenge, spite, money, and who knows how many other reasons.
This is from an article by an author who thinks fathers have value:
“In doing research for my recent column on the importance of fathers in the lives of children, I came across a publication from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services titled “The Importance of Fathers in the Healthy Development of Children.” This publication is part of a series focusing on child abuse and neglect. I found the points discussed in the publication so compelling I decided to share the information.
Dr. Wade F. Horn, co-founder and former president of the National Fatherhood Initiative, is credited with coining: “The myth of the superfluous father.” “Superfluous” means “exceeding what is sufficient or necessary.” “Superfluous” can also imply unnecessary. Too many men have bought into the idea their role in the home is little more than to provide an extra set of hands. Any father who views himself in this light simply does not understand the value of what a father offers a child.”

Way too often, the father is viewed by the mother as the family ATM, the money source that provides the house, car, groceries etc, but NOT the leader of the home. The mother plays the one who ‘wears the pants in the family’. And the family court system reinforces that daily, coast to coast. The mother most frequently is the one who filed for divorce, breaking up the family, but the courts still give her access to the father's income, house AND the children.
Father's often contribute to family issues via addictions or adultery. Fathers, especially blacks, abandon their children, which seemingly is an African cultural phenomenon. Those black mothers also had no father/male role model so they certainly cannot raise responsible children.
Blessings to all.
Daughters from fatherless homes wind up just as messed up as sons from fatherless homes.

Yes! The current movement to erase fathers is satanic, definitely borne of hatred of our Heavenly Father. Destroy the children!
