Hi Gail,
As I was reading life without father, I really agreed on the stats when children ages; two and half years old were given an option to chose whom to play with and they chose their fathers. I could relate to that choice because I was attached to my father as my protector and thats what children need-security/protection. I also agree that father's involvement is linked to improve verbal, problem-solving and academic achievement. Growing up as a child, my father was the one who helped me with homework that was emphasize in play manner which I preferred comparsion to my mother all stressed out and frustrated. Women do tend to get easily frustrated than men because I think women are constantly the caretakers of children while men become caretakers only when help is needed. So, I think it's really important to have both parents play a role in their childs life even if the parents are not cohabitating. That's it for now.

Perhaps we don't realize how important mothers and fathers are in the lives of their children until we are separated from them for one reason or another. My mom died when I was 17 so I haven't had the privilege of knowing her as a friend. However, her death helped me realize that life is precious and every minute important whether it's hard minute or a happy minute.
