THE LIZ LIBRARY PRESENTS: HISTORY SERIES
fatherlessness absent fathers
FATHERLESS CHILDREN STORIES
are transcripts from "A Fatherless Minute" series sponsored by
The Liz Library for The Justice Hour radio show on WPBR 1340 AM.
The term "fatherless" ("fatherlessness" or "father-absent") is used in this series as it is in research and "father absence" policy rhetoric by the U.S. government, DHHS, the National Fatherhood Initiative, U.S. states in connection with child custody law and policy, and various family values and fatherhood policy and lobbying groups.
Brief stories of fatherless children can be found here. A list of famous fatherless children, all of whom grew up in father-absent homes, and succeeded in achieving greatness, can be found here.
Citations to research and studies can be found

and many, many more....
The notion is FALSE that children require a certain kind of family composition (two married biological parents) in order to do well, rather than that certain family characteristics and lifestyle advantages (such as educational opportunities, financial opportunities, stability, attention, and so forth) may be beneficial.
No research has shown that when a child's parents do not live together, joint custody is in their long-term best interests, or that "the best parent is two parents." See the research: here, and here, and here, and here, andhere, and still more, along with discussions and articles in the index here.
(Interesting, though, how "motherlessness" is almost glorified in our society, e.g. Disney.)
At thelizlibrary.org, we don't "hate men". We hate lies.
