    I've worked in a maximum security prison for over 20 years, and the number of inmates who were raised by single moms or their grandmother alone is staggering. PBD's words ring so true.

      @@amsterdamcowboy9738, of course not! The alpha male leadership role has already been made extinct in such feminized nations, which further fuels the feminization efforts. Only one problem, when the whole nation is feminized, you need us to come bleed and die to rescue you from the criminal types that your effeminate utopia has invited to take over the whole limp lot of you…Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Ceausescu, Franco, etc.
      Turns out, Jesus was right again of course, when He said “…we aren’t wrestling with flesh and blood, but evil spiritual powers and principalities in heavenly places…” As many have said since those words were spoken but ignored: “The only thing required for evil to triumph is for good MEN to do nothing.”
      Keyword: “men,” raised with and by men who embrace all the God-given roles of fathers, husbands, sons, daughters, wives and mothers…rather than dictate against any of them as feminism does. This is Satan’s greatest strategy and it started on day one with Eve and will continue until the Whore of Babylon is thrown into the lake of fire by the returning King of kings who will restore the blessing and prosperity of godly obedience to the Law of the Covenant by following it as the ruler of the Earth, and enforcing Torah with a rod of iron (without wavering, as He commanded us to continue to do in Matthew5:17-19, 7:21-23 and 25:1-12 and defined in Rev14:12, etc…).
      …as if there are no criminals in Europe and “other countries”-pffft

    Single father of 2 here. I've had full custody of both my boys for 5+ years. Their mother was in prison for 3 years and was released in May of 2022. I was hoping she would make efforts to be in our kids lives and she did and it was great to see. They were happy to see her again. That hope was cut short when she overdosed and died in August 2022. Fentanyl was the culprit. RIP Lauren. I will sacrifice all for my kids. There are good fathers out there.

      It's *SINGLE MOTHERHOOD* , they are using "fatherlessness" as a *euphemism* for it to subtly shift the blame onto *MEN*
      Blaming *MEN* yet again.
      To the uninitiated and low IQ it seems indistinguishable, but it's a _semantic_ game they're playing, as to not upset the _female_ base.
      You don't get to blame men for poor ♀ *CHOICES AND BEHAVIOR.*
      This intellectual dishonesty is why the traditional conservatives will _keep losing_ and _keep making the situation worse_ .

      Alhamdulillah for Islam.☝💚
      *“From among the portents of the Hour are (the following)…the drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very common, and (open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail…”*
      (Bukhari Volume 1 Hadith 80)
      Also
      *“The Last Hour will not be established until they (wicked people) commit adultery on the roads (public ways).”*
      (Ibn Hibban and Bazzar)
      And
      *“The Hour will come when adultery becomes widespread.”*
      (Al-Haythami, Kitab al-Fitan)
      Well literally no one can dispute this. Alcohol is basically widespread and consumed by majority of people. Alcohol is glorified in the media, tv shows, music, social media etc. The exact same thing can be said about open sexual intercourse. With pornography being rampant in today’s culture it has led to the current state that we are all in.
      However the statistics for this are shocking. About 41% of couples (one or both) have admitted to committing infidelity. This is for sure a clear cut prophecy coming true.
      Furthermore there is more to this.
      The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
      *“O Muhajirun, (emigrants from Makkah to al-Madinah) you may be afflicted by five things; God forbid that you should live to see them… if fornication should become widespread, you should realise that this has never happened without new diseases befalling the people which their forebears never suffered.”*
      [Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 5, pg. 222-223, Hadith #4019]
      The key word is “diseases”. How scary is it that STDs such as HIV and AIDS are rampant due to sex outside of marriage. STDs are already rampant because more than half of all people will have an STD/STI at some point in their lifetime.
      It is so rampant to the point where we have STD clinics and campaigns about safe sex. Such diseases never existed in ancient times and in today’s world it is a normal occurrence.
      *“There will be an abundance of illegitimate children.”*
      (Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi, Muntakhab Kanzul Ummaal)
      This is a massive prophecy and is happening right here and right now. Right now if you compare a country like USA they have statistic which show that even in 2012 that 40.7% of children are born out-of-wedlock
      So the numbers are ridiculous and this is a huge modern phenomena. This is a clear cut prophecy coming true.
      Also
      *“Divorces will be a daily occurrence.”*
      (Allamah Safarini, Ahwal Yaum al-Qiyamah)
      Well to be frank divorces are already like this in this day and age. People take divorces as a normal occurrence but we can let the stats speak for themselves. 41 percent of first marriages end in divorce. In America, there is one divorce approximately every 36 seconds. That’s nearly 2,400 divorces per day, 16,800 divorces per week and 876,000 divorces a year
      The media has normalised divorces and now we talk about divorce like it’s nothing. But in actual fact the daily occurrence of divorces is a prophecy by Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم

      Alhamdulillah for Islam.☝💚
      *“From among the portents of the Hour are (the following)…the drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very common, and (open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail…”*
      (Bukhari Volume 1 Hadith 80)
      Also
      *“The Last Hour will not be established until they (wicked people) commit adultery on the roads (public ways).”*
      (Ibn Hibban and Bazzar)
      And
      *“The Hour will come when adultery becomes widespread.”*
      (Al-Haythami, Kitab al-Fitan)
      Well literally no one can dispute this. Alcohol is basically widespread and consumed by majority of people. Alcohol is glorified in the media, tv shows, music, social media etc. The exact same thing can be said about open sexual intercourse. With pornography being rampant in today’s culture it has led to the current state that we are all in.
      However the statistics for this are shocking. About 41% of couples (one or both) have admitted to committing infidelity. This is for sure a clear cut prophecy coming true.
      Furthermore there is more to this.
      The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
      *“O Muhajirun, (emigrants from Makkah to al-Madinah) you may be afflicted by five things; God forbid that you should live to see them… if fornication should become widespread, you should realise that this has never happened without new diseases befalling the people which their forebears never suffered.”*
      [Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 5, pg. 222-223, Hadith #4019]
      The key word is “diseases”. How scary is it that STDs such as HIV and AIDS are rampant due to sex outside of marriage. STDs are already rampant because more than half of all people will have an STD/STI at some point in their lifetime.
      It is so rampant to the point where we have STD clinics and campaigns about safe sex. Such diseases never existed in ancient times and in today’s world it is a normal occurrence.
      *“There will be an abundance of illegitimate children.”*
      (Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi, Muntakhab Kanzul Ummaal)
      This is a massive prophecy and is happening right here and right now. Right now if you compare a country like USA they have statistic which show that even in 2012 that 40.7% of children are born out-of-wedlock
      So the numbers are ridiculous and this is a huge modern phenomena. This is a clear cut prophecy coming true.
      Also
      *“Divorces will be a daily occurrence.”*
      (Allamah Safarini, Ahwal Yaum al-Qiyamah)
      Well to be frank divorces are already like this in this day and age. People take divorces as a normal occurrence but we can let the stats speak for themselves. 41 percent of first marriages end in divorce. In America, there is one divorce approximately every 36 seconds. That’s nearly 2,400 divorces per day, 16,800 divorces per week and 876,000 divorces a year
      The media has normalised divorces and now we talk about divorce like it’s nothing. But in actual fact the daily occurrence of divorces is a prophecy by Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم

I wasn't able to see my child, who was 3 yrs old for the next 2 years. I missed fathers day, her 3rd birthday, that really messed with my head. Depression started to kick in. At the end I lost time with my child, almost the house I bought, and put over 150k for remodeling. Now she's getting money from me and her new daddy (the government) the lawyer don't give a fuck about you or your children. The judges don't give a fuck about your children well being (even though I had two female judges) she immediately moved into some strange dude's apt.

He perfected speaking English, and mastered Refrigeration as his skill set. He does amazingly well for himself as an engineer. While he was striving towards his goals, he had 3 kids to raise alongside my mother. Growing up, he wouldn't miss a day when I had a field trip, a little league game, basketball games in high school. He had always pushed me really hard, and the results are interesting. At 26 now, I went through the cycle most people go through with their parents: you idolize as a kid, demonize as a teenager, and then apologize as an adult because you finally have enough know how to understand the lessons that were being taught. I'm now an engineer as well like my father, but I'm going further by taking the teachings you've taught through valuetainment, and applying them in two companies I'm trying to get off the ground. He's proud that I'm moving to take the family torch even further. I wouldn't have achieved what I've achieved, if it wasn't for him being there...

    My father is a narcissist. Every moment with him was stressful and as an adult taking calls from him was stressful. There would always be a problem, someone father wanted to attack and bring a lawsuit against. The reasons were always petty.
    I spent a considerable amount of time as a youngster extremely angry. The time would be spent reading in the public library to find out what was wrong with father and as a distraction. I'd plant fruit and nut trees along the canals and on public land, rather than be violent or commit vandalism, to occupy time.
    When I left home the time was spent mostly working 14-18 hour days for some 20 years. After that there was no need to work, the properties and land were paid off, investments were there, savings sufficient etc. But keeping working makes life more bearable so it is more like 45 hours a week now and plenty of time is spent tending the gardens and land for a very high degree of self sufficiency.
    Today, I'd rather be alone or spend limited time with truly loved ones. I hate controlling other people and hate people trying to control me. It is more about contentment rather than being happy, happiness is not really achievable.

      Exceptions confirm the rule of course you will meet fathers who have certain anger issues. But the stats don't lie usually fathers do a better job raising children to be disciplined and respectful. You might have missed love in your early days but at least you didn't end up a criminal and it paid off. In todays day and age a father or father figure is more important for children than a mother, because a mother can teach love and empathy. A father on the other hand can teach these things to but on top of that discipline usually also comes from the father.

The boomers really fucked things up. But like everything in history it's a slow decline till you eventually start to realize where the fuck the good old times have gone and why the new generation are a bunch of mental basket cases.

      I have been saying this for quite some time. In todays day and age a father or father figure is more important for children than a mother, because a mother can teach love and empathy. A father on the other hand can teach these things to but on top of that discipline usually also comes from the father.

      The reason is simple, the custody of kids are generally given to mothers by default, even when the woman is the one committing adultery and child abuse. The justice system literally does not allow us men to be in the child's life as much as woman. Not to mention we also have to pay alimony to the latter.

I feel woman can nurture and care all they want. But the sons always look at the father as their role model. I'm sure my daughter will look for a man just like her dad when she grows up. That's why choosing the right man to marry is soo important. Ofcourse,Treat a man right and he'll work towards becoming the right guy.

The court system is stacked against us men, but it is beatable if you have resources. If you don't have money, then I'm sorry the system will screw you over. Unfortunately, serious changes need to be made to our system, including getting rid of no fault divorce. If you cheat or leave then you should be held accountable for your actions (86% of women initiating divorce). Men should not have to have 50k+ in lawyer fees just to be involved in their kids' lives....

    As I grow older, its either my father changed or I'm able to comprehend people's nature more, or both; but he became the kind of father that brings money home and that's it. All other things in the house must be done by me, my siblings, and mom. When one of my sibling or me made a mistake, my father would blame my mother for raising us wrong. He also demanded to be treated like the king of the house.
    My mother said that he's always like that, I was just too young to know, and she didn't want to break that father-son moments I had with him. This breaks my heart and that hanging out moments that I cherished, become sad moments. Today, my father is more of a model father that I don't want to be. So except for bringing money home for my family, I'm doing everything in the complete opposite of what he had done to his family.

My 4 year old daughter hugged me tight and would not let me go for like 10 minutes, no lie, all she was saying is PROMISE ME YOURE COMING BACK DADDY…And looking at all these stats I’m shocked how can someone leave their daughter/son behind and live a happy life. I just can’t wrap my head around this.

      Agreed. Your comment makes me think about how that aspect is not always discussed. It’s not every single father that has been forcibly pushed away from their child by the mother. For the fathers who leave, who chose to not get involved , who can relocated , start new families and move on - I always wonder how they can.
      It’s evil for a mother to block a child from their father unless the father is abusive and dangerous. It’s also evil for a father to abandon his own child.

    I grew up in a two parent home.My mother and father could not have loved,emotionally supported me and encouraged any more than they did. So I always had that sanctuary inside the home. But people must understand that that isn't enough for human beings. I felt that positive vibe to a lesser extent within the community. But as an African American, never from the society itself. And that's the sad part. Because it took me to live abroad in Japan to understand the four pillars of human existence. INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND SOCIETY. AND THE NEED FOR POSITIVE RECIPROCAL REINFORCEMENT AMONGST THE FOUR PILLARS. You cannot maintain harmony within the home if there is no harmony outside the home. The level of toxicity outside the home is astounding within American society. It has gotten worse over the last 50 years. You cannot have our politics continue to add to this toxicity without consequences. AS a means of access to power.You cannot have our social and other media platforms continue to tear people apart for profit.America has been an US VS THEM society since its founding. It is a breeding ground for psychosis and neurosis, in my opinion. I can remember when I returned with my father from Japan for the last time after his military career came to an end in 1969.Right then and there,I told my father that I had no desire to become a father. Especially if I stayed on American soil. That of course I would continue my schooling, graduate college and try to make something of my life. I told him that I felt America was a great country to work and make a living. But not to raise a family. He was not surprised by my decision.He even said that I had to feel it in my heart if this was the proper place to raise any children I might have. You see somethings are greater than the individual self, he said. You as an individual are but a small part of a much larger equation, he said. The only thing my parents asked of me was to act as a mentor to the future children and grandchildren of my older brother and younger sister. And even some of the youngsters in any future community I might choose to live in.I was 13 years old when I made this decision. And I have no regrets. And I kept my promise to my parents to become mentor to the children and then grandchildren of my brother and sister.

      Alhamdulillah for Islam.☝💚
      *“From among the portents of the Hour are (the following)…the drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very common, and (open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail…”*
      (Bukhari Volume 1 Hadith 80)
      Also
      *“The Last Hour will not be established until they (wicked people) commit adultery on the roads (public ways).”*
      (Ibn Hibban and Bazzar)
      And
      *“The Hour will come when adultery becomes widespread.”*
      (Al-Haythami, Kitab al-Fitan)
      Well literally no one can dispute this. Alcohol is basically widespread and consumed by majority of people. Alcohol is glorified in the media, tv shows, music, social media etc. The exact same thing can be said about open sexual intercourse. With pornography being rampant in today’s culture it has led to the current state that we are all in.
      However the statistics for this are shocking. About 41% of couples (one or both) have admitted to committing infidelity. This is for sure a clear cut prophecy coming true.
      Furthermore there is more to this.
      The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
      *“O Muhajirun, (emigrants from Makkah to al-Madinah) you may be afflicted by five things; God forbid that you should live to see them… if fornication should become widespread, you should realise that this has never happened without new diseases befalling the people which their forebears never suffered.”*
      [Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 5, pg. 222-223, Hadith #4019]
      The key word is “diseases”. How scary is it that STDs such as HIV and AIDS are rampant due to sex outside of marriage. STDs are already rampant because more than half of all people will have an STD/STI at some point in their lifetime.
      It is so rampant to the point where we have STD clinics and campaigns about safe sex. Such diseases never existed in ancient times and in today’s world it is a normal occurrence.
      *“There will be an abundance of illegitimate children.”*
      (Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi, Muntakhab Kanzul Ummaal)
      This is a massive prophecy and is happening right here and right now. Right now if you compare a country like USA they have statistic which show that even in 2012 that 40.7% of children are born out-of-wedlock
      So the numbers are ridiculous and this is a huge modern phenomena. This is a clear cut prophecy coming true.
      Also
      *“Divorces will be a daily occurrence.”*
      (Allamah Safarini, Ahwal Yaum al-Qiyamah)
      Well to be frank divorces are already like this in this day and age. People take divorces as a normal occurrence but we can let the stats speak for themselves. 41 percent of first marriages end in divorce. In America, there is one divorce approximately every 36 seconds. That’s nearly 2,400 divorces per day, 16,800 divorces per week and 876,000 divorces a year
      The media has normalised divorces and now we talk about divorce like it’s nothing. But in actual fact the daily occurrence of divorces is a prophecy by Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم

      Blaming *MEN* yet again.
      To the uninitiated and low IQ it seems indistinguishable, but it's a _semantic_ game they're playing, as to not upset the _female_ base.
      You don't get to blame men for poor female choices and behavior.

I felt very loved deprived, and I looked for love in men. I had no proper guidance, and I repeated the same mistake my mom did, it was a very hard situation. My children also suffered a lot.
    Once I turn towards my spirituality and gained some structured I was able to learn how a family should be and so I got married and life was better.
    In America there are no set of value system for the family!
    We don’t teach kids how to be a father or a mother and how to nourish and raise a family.
    At age 18 I wanted to get married EVERYONE was saying it was wrong.
    Marriage with proper guidance, from elders, support from peers can help people thrive!!
    People have to learn respect, how to treat each other with respect and not encourage sex, like it’s a sports game. The schools are teaching about sex not teaching the values of family, of a spouse and of a mom or dad. People don’t know how to love or give love. There is so much superficiality.

      I agree with wish you said about marriage. They were saying it’s a big risk because people do fall out of love, and might end up hating each other. It’s a serious decision to make in this type of world at 18, but you’re right that it might be well worth it.

      My mom was a married single mom. My dad was on drugs and in and out of prison. When he was there he didn’t do much. I feel like I turned out similar to you, so having a father in the home can’t necessarily be the answer. I guess the father or both parents need to be well.

      This whole conversation is the typical TradCon *intellectual dishonesty*
      It's not _fatherlessness_ "problem"
      It's *SINGLE MOTHERHOOD* , they are using "fatherlessness" as a *euphemism* for it to subtly shift the blame onto *MEN*
      Blaming *MEN* yet again.
      To the uninitiated and low IQ it seems indistinguishable, but it's a _semantic_ game they're playing, as to not upset the _female_ base.
      You don't get to blame men for poor female choices and behavior.
      This intellectual dishonesty is why the traditional conservatives will _keep losing_ and _keep making the situation worse_ .
      Until you solve the _actual_ problem (hint: it's not the _men_ ) society will continue to collapse.
      Enjoy the decline. 💊

    Raised by my dad and stepmother who filled the role extremely well. My dad was working a lot to make sure I had opportunities, but when we did spend time together he was packing every bit of knowledge into that time as he could. I'm grateful for my dad. Most of my friends are fatherless and I can see the difference in life is huge. Especially if they don't pull their head out of that rut.

    I’m dead serious when I say this. I have no father but my mother also slept around. Even after I was born she had a different guy every weekend. I think she was a sex addict, she didn’t believe in birth control because she felt that real sex comes with risk of pregnancy. My mother got pregnant multiple times and used abortion as birth control. There’s three of us, all with three different fathers and only one of us knows who our father is. I’m the oldest, so while my mother was at sex parties, the club, looking for her next one night stand, I was my brothers mother. So, I never had a mother or a father. My mother was all about getting a load dropped in her. The pain of not having a dad never leaves you. But to know it’s because your mother doesn’t know who he is because she slept with so many different men brings a whole other pain that most ppl will never talk about.

    I remember a time when multiple generations lived in the same home and worked together as a unit. It's not one particular thing, it's a series of things. I'm grateful for that time, for that feeling of community, where ppl looked after another person's child regardless of relation, if someone became ill the community rallied around them. I remember seeing families going to church on Sunday, it may be a different church but I remember that. Times have definitely changed.

Women are not permitted to speak in the congregation of believers. The husband is the master, in the Judeo-Christian culture. You're a libearl trying to make God's way fit with Satan's. I maried a feminazi. Feminism ruined women. She acted equal, and that's why we had conflict. She broke her promise to submit. What man would marry a woman saying "We'll be equal"? That's nonsense.

    In America, I was bullied for HAVING a dad. . But I understood that it wasn't cuz they hated me, it was more because they hated their situations, many of them had single moms who earned more than what my two parent house hold made... But still , it didn't stop the name calling.
    I still loved them but I never would have had that perspective if I never saw examples of tolerance and discomfort-tolerance from my father. It was like an insulation from the emotion of depression.
    Because of having a father around, I was able to shrug my shoulders and see every bad thing as Temporary, and he never had to say anything.. just watching his actions was enough.
    You can still live a fulfilling life without a father, but it's also a good thing if one sticks around.

    I have worked in the division of family services and CPS for 20+ years. You wouldn't believe the thousands of horrendous cases that fathers (married and single) perpetrate against their children. Being a father alone does not suffice. Children need their fathers to be the "right" fathers! They need strong God-fearing fathers with the moral character, to lead by example.

    Single mom here. My son dad think its ok not be present and just barely privide financially. He travels the country for work but doesnt think our son really needs a male role model in his life at the age of 4. His father comes from a two parent household. Why doesnt he want to be present and consistent with his son. I told him he can even get him on the weekends if he move to the state we are in. He hasn't even tried to make arrangements to move so he can have time with him..its crazy! When my son was just a baby he didn't even want to be around. He never change his pampers or feed him, but me thinking he would bond with him ..but he never really have. I still give him opportunities to bond with him but he wont budge. I haven't even put him on child support either. Smh idk whats in the water but somthing isn't right.
