Blog Description: This blog is about fatherhood. Black fatherhood to be exact. But it’s also about how no matter our race, gender, political affiliation (or whatever it is that can potentially separate us), good parents are all connected through parenthood. Our shared experiences are what bind us, not to mention our love of a good story. URL: www.FatherDad.com

Why so many men turn their backs on there kids knowing they need them in their lives. Not just financial but putting their time in?

Many men themselves came up this way and don't know any better figuring, "that kid'll be alright." Some don't realize the value of fatherhood because fathers in today's society are not valued in the media, on entertainment and by many women that claim they don't need anyone and send shouts out to themselves on Father's Day. I think also ignorance and fear weigh into the equation as well. Just as much as a woman fears the unknown of raising a child so does a man but because he isn't birthing that child his connection isn't as strong if he opts (out of fear) not to be around during the pregnancy getting to know mom and child and dips out before the child is born to miss the miracle of child birth. I'm not psychologist but these are just some of the reasons --- and none of them are acceptable.
