That day full of laughter and squeals of delight when they see all that Santa brought. Eight days until that magical day of joy and Christmas spirit. And also when they handed you their “updated list” last night, I know you frantically checked your phone to see if there were enough Amazon Prime days left to get it all done. I know you know this, because I know your kids reminded you this morning when they were fighting over whose turn it is to open that tiny door on the advent calendar. These men are legion, but culturally invisible.Okay parents. Spiking divorce-related suicide rates for men prove that. Loving fathers, disenfranchised of their parenting rights by mother-friendly family courts, are amongst the most anguished people you can imagine. The social science is clear: children need to spend a minimum of 40 per cent of their time with each parent to maintain natural, healthy bonds with both. But when one parent has sole custody, clearly the case in the SNL scenario, natural parent-child bonds atrophy.
From contemptuous branding of the SNL kind, many assume that dads don’t care much about their children after divorce. Census Bureau reports that 24 million children - one out of three - live in homes where their biological father is absent. Real divorced moms also have live-in boyfriends SNL dad’s live-in girlfriend may not be Mary Poppins, but she does not present a statistically meaningful risk of abuse to his children.)
A child in a father-absent home is more likely to live in poverty more likely to suffer from obesity and addiction twice as likely to drop out of high school and more likely to face abuse and neglect from an unrelated man in the home. Fatherlessness is the single greatest predictor of criminal activity in boys and promiscuity in girls. The facts around fatherlessness are anything but humorous.
