And it goes far beyond those children who do not have their dads in their lives. There are many homes where the father is there, but not involved.<br /><br />I know from personal experience that a father who is not there in church or supporting the children in school will often have children that follow in their footsteps. When I was old enough, I walked away from both church and school, because, in my eyes, if they weren't important enough for my dad to be involved in, why did I need them?<br /><br />Our children watch everything we do and listen to every word we say. Fatherhood is the single most important, and scrutinized, job we will ever have. Do we all stumble? Of course.
