The statistics are not pretty, but they are eye-opening. The numbers show us that the lack of a father figure has a devastating impact on children, particularly boys.

The facts are hard to ignore: 90% of homeless children come from fatherless homes, and 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes. This is not just a coincidence. These numbers are a clear indication of how much a father’s presence in a child’s life can make a difference.

The numbers don't lie. 80% of suicides are by men, and 90% of the homeless are men. There is a clear correlation between fatherless homes and men's struggles in society. But what can we do about it?

One solution is shared parenting. If both parents have an equal amount of time with their children, it can create a more stable and nurturing environment. It also means that both parents can be actively involved in their child's life, which is especially important during the critical developmental years.

It's time to change the way society views fathers. The court system needs to provide primary care to both parents in a divorce case, not just one. The fact that primary care is only given to 10% of men in court rulings is unacceptable. This needs to change.

Fathers should be given the opportunity to be active participants in their children's lives. Children who grow up with both parents present in their lives have better outcomes in life. It's not about who is right or wrong; it's about creating a stable and nurturing environment for our children.

Let us all advocate for shared parenting and give our children the best chance at a healthy and happy life.
