The absent father can be described as a physical absence from the child’s
life, intentional abandonment or failure to provide support. It is the
deprivation of necessary attention that makes a child suffer and feel he/she
does not have all the support needed. A father who has no contact with his
child for at most four months or thereabout is an absent father. The
justification of the absent father may be plentiful, but so are the
consequences against his children. I am not judging or criticizing men in this
situation. A child with the absent father should be encouraged to talk about
his/her feelings, express their mind in an honest manner when speaking with his
parents. In some cases, the father should not be blamed. The cause of his
absenteeism needs to be considered. Being honest with the child is expedient
because a child could develop deep hatred for his father rather than to seek
help when and where necessary to resolve issues. They need to reconnect the
children back to their absent father cannot be over-emphasized. The absence of the father in a child’s life causes depression. If this is
not resolved it leads to sadness for both father and children. The actions of absent fathers are more than twice as likely to commit
suicide. Available mother Two experiences make me want to talk about available mother. The first
experience is the spate of wayward and disrespectful children in the community
nowadays. These miscreants are also growing at an alarming rate. These days we
found that many mothers have abandoned their children and family because of the
pursuits of money. Such mothers cannot be described as available mother. It is
not enough to complain about the rot in the society, we must find the root
cause and tackle it. The Christian home is blessed with available mother.
Available mothers work tirelessly to build their homes. She is easily available
and found around her children.
