What does it take inside of you to not call your child, to not remember birthdays, to not show up at their little league games. I wonder about the turmoil that a father experiences. I wonder if a playground gives them flashbacks. I wonder what they say if someone asks, "Do you have children." Their story has never been told. I simply wonder....if they wonder. And if their pain comes anywhere near the pain they create through their absence.
What are your thoughts? Do you think absent fathers suffer emotionally?

I think at some point they feel a deep amount of shame and guilt, that they associate even more pain with owning and apologizing.
