Holidays without Dad Print E-mail
Saturday, 18 December 2004
Here we are again with the year-end holidays upon us. Families are taking time to plan for reunions, holiday pageants, dinners and trips... that is, this is the picture that we would like to envision for the holidays. The truth is that many children will be missing a key piece of this traditional picture this year - their Dad.

Many dads will be spending this otherwise family oriented holiday alone or without access to his children who once were a part of joyful holidays past. Actions enacted by mothers to alienate, interfere or otherwise exclude 'dad' steal away children's dreams of spending holiday time with both loving parents. One has to wonder if this outcome will dilute the experiences of future holidays for these children who will grow up without the fatherly influence and participation that underscores these year end activities that center on family traditions and unification.  By diluting these experiences or dismissing them to the exclusion of dads, we allow our children to further lose contact with the meaning of these holidays as opportunities to strengthen family ties, participate in traditions and learn the importance sharing in the gift of 'family'.

May we remember those dads and children who will not be united this holiday season.
