@LukeAlmighty the worst is having a father who doesn’t even really know (or has forgotten) how to be a father.
On the one hand, society. On the other hand, the failure of the parent.
Many men are aimless, without any view to the future. At least, in my case, when someone asks “where do you see yourself in X years?” I have to try not to cynically answer back “6 feet deep”.
