Every child deserves to have their father in their life without government interference. A father was falsy accused of child abuse and was removed from the home. The child did not see him for several years until the false allegations were recognized and the case closed. During this time the father was alone and isolated from the child, but the child was also alone and isolated from the father.
People do not understand the impact of generational trauma and how it affects men. The father grew up in a single-mother household and his father passed away when he was 10 months old. His mother was abusive and he then recognized that abuse is a mother’s love. The mother went as far as throwing a hammer at the child’s head leaving him unconscious. Many years later as an adult, he would find that same love in the mother of his child and not recognize it as abuse, and the child would then recognize it as a mother’s love.
As the child grew into a young man, his mother’s love would be inherited through his abusive older sister’s. Men are taught to shut up and not express their emotions openly for fear of public scrutiny thus developing psychological damage. Unable to recognize being a victim of domestic violence and psychological abuse the child could not see the patterns and later as an adult aware of this in the mother of their child. But there is still time!
