[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes! This thread saddens me. I do find that as a teacher, almost ALL of my children that have trouble with learning or behavior have "Daddy issues" or other family issues that are at the very heart of all their problems. I had a daughter literally tell me that she feels she must be ugly because her Dad does not want to see her anymore. She was 7 and the cutest, neatest little girl. That broke my heart. Her self-esteem was 0 at the tender age of 7. I have a child now who was constantly promised the world from his Dad but not one of those wishes materialized. Then, after the child retorted to his Dad failing to even call on his birthday, the father said he has better things to do and it was best he not call him anymore. Now, the child has a HUGE mental psychosis every week, and has been largely absent from virtual learning. The poor single Mom cannot handle all of this on her own as she has 2 younger children as well and told me she wants to commit him as he is out of control with his anger and threatening to end his life. Poor Baby. I wish I could hold him and tell him that he can have a successful life even without an active father. But, he idolizes Dad and only wants his attention. This is so incredibly sad. And, I am only a teacher! I can only imagine what Mom goes through every day. I really wish parent's who choose to be absent understand or walk a week in their poor kid's shoes to understand what they go through. [/quote]

This sounds like a mom parenting issue and a mental health issue, no tDad issue.  If she has three kids with different dads, none involved, maybe she wants it that way.[/quote]
