Growing Up Fatherless
Growing up fatherless does not have to define your son. So often in our world, our boys are facing the prospect of no paternal involvement in their lives, either through choice, or accident. Fatherlessness profoundly impacts these young men durring their critical teen years. Here’s a look at the facts:
• DIVORCE RATES ARE OVER 50%.
• OVER 40% OF FAMILIES ARE SINGLE PARENT.
• 85% OF YOUTHS IN PRISON GREW UP IN A FATHERLESS HOME.
• FATHERLESS BOYS ARE 10 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE IMPRISONED.
Adolescence is a critical time when young men
are faced with choices that affect them for the rest of their lives. Show them they are not alone. As a parent you want what is best for your son, and you fight to give him the best chance.
