Oh how i wish i can talk to your daughter. My dad left me when i was 3 months and I'm 29 today. I went through it all but in my teen years i decided to keep myself busy with church and that really helped. Went to varsity and got my law degree and today I'm a professional. Btw i met my dad last year and his presence doesn't make any difference in my life. Lastly, i have an infant with an amazing guy❤. Just saying...

My daughter also has an absent father she knows him and all his family and has visited a few times there but he's financially emotionally mentally and physically absent because his wife doesn't allow him to support her unless she goes and live with them,I just find it weird that she badly wants to stay with my only kid when she has 3kids that are also girls.My daughter says she's not comfortable around her step mom..now she doesn't want to visit her father she's avoiding his wife.Luckly my kid got a job she's able to pay fees doing second year IT degree data science.

@@lenzilendebele2036 I empathise with your situation sis. IMO the wife is controlling. It's a form of manipulation and gatekeeping. She thinks she's punishing you. That man is also weak! How can a grown men need permission from his wife to take of his responsibility!! I always say behind every man who neglects their parenting responsibilities, there is a woman. It could be his mother, sisters, wife, girlfriend, grandma or friend! Women are the gatekeepers of father absenteeism. I had a friend that I met at work and a few weeks after meeting him and having multiple conversations I found out that he had a son that he hadn't seen since his 5th birthday! The boy was 11 years old. At the time he was in the process of paying lobola for his then girlfriend, who is now his ex-wife! I had a looooong conversation with that man. A very long insightful conversation, and even encouraged him to reach out to his son's mother. I told him that the mother of his son is going to be angry and he needs to take it like a man because he created the monster. To cut the long story short, I facilitated the conversation between him and his son's mother. It took a while for her to get to a place where she was able to engage with him with no animosity. But I supported them both and they co-parented together maturely. He took financially responsibility, saw his son all the time even spent school holidays with him. The boy is now in his 20s and has a great relationship with his dad. It takes a village to raise a child. I'm happy for them.

One thing absent father's take away from our kids is self confidence. Having grown with my father around,knowing that i can always rely on him and raising a girl child as a single mom, i honestly see the lack of self worth. Not even 80 % is as a result of absent father but over 95% contributes to them feeling like that

I would just like to point out that this girlfriend and boyfriend at an early age is not right. We need to talk to our girls and boys that babies are a huge responsibility. Parents need to have a serious talk with our youth. Girls are pressured into having sex at an early age and that is wrong. At 17 it is just too young for a girl to be having a baby and the boy gets away with murder and walks away freely. The girl and her parents bears the brunt of all these problems which is not fair. Can we learn to caution our children before they reach puberty. That is what I did to my boys, fortunately our church has a retreat where sexually transmitted diseases are discussed and the repercussions of early sex. My 2 sons told me about the HIV, STD's pregnancy etc. We need to boldly have serious talks with our children. These old men running after young girls must stop. I grew up in Township and know what girls go through. I 2 adult sons over 30 and 35 yrs and non of them have children out there, actually my elder brother who are married don't have children outside their marriages. It is part of our culture, because that is how my father raised us. The one and only one who impregnated a girls, my Dad made sure that he married her. They got divorced after 18 years of marriage. We cannot make it normal for children to be born out of wedlock period. You can't go around defiling people's children and not take responsibility for it. We are creating a sick society. It is not fair on the children as they did not ask to come into this world. It has to stop period.

Whether it's a father/mother/sibling who takes a decision 2 neglect any1,must b respected. We even have no control even over us,we plan & God decide each & evryday. Meaning it's impossible 2 have control over sum1 else. The thing is,even if u get angry bcoz of a decision taken by sum1,u the 1 suffers. U cnt force any1 2 change his/her decision nt 2 love/accept u. Girls,submitting yourselves 2 men bcoz u trying 2 substitute a father destroy than solving this. Let's avoid doing things that r nt solutions 2 the prblm,it's a waste of tym & draining. Just leave it 2 God & continue with ur lyf,painful as it is.

I think you are diminishing your daughters worth by having an open door to people that obviously do not value her. It's been 16 years, no good relationship will ever be established by this man. Your daughter suffers from low esteem because you teach her that she must be nice and honorable to people that have clearly shown disdain for her. No parents who eats and dresses up and manages to make other children, should be given access without paying maintenance & it's not about the money, but it's a principle. As a parent, whether father or mother, you provide whatever little you have to a child you love. Money & time equals value

This is so true and because these men behave like they were birthed by the same parents, when you react they use that against you and call you bitter, gather an audience to publicize your reaction because they know no one will question what triggered this behavior. No one will hold them accountable for not being there all these years and when you finally say it's okay stay away for good then they want to make you the bad guy. That's how they move.
