   Why Do Fathers Leave but Mothers Rarely Do? | Fatherlessness, Therapy & What I’ve Learned

   Fatherlessness is one of the biggest issues I see in therapy, in schools, and in society as a whole. I’ve met countless men who carry the scars of growing up without their fathers — and many who are now struggling with the idea of being absent from their own children’s lives. At the same time, I’ve been a sperm donor, and I’ve seen how some families — especially lesbian couples — make a deliberate choice to raise children without a father figure. That’s very different from abandonment, but it still raises the same fundamental question: what does it mean for a child to grow up without a dad? What strikes me most is the imbalance. The statistics on fatherlessness are everywhere — yet when I searched for why mothers abandon their children, I found almost nothing. It’s so rare it barely appears in the research. So why do men leave, but women almost never do? In this video, I share my personal experiences, the stories I’ve seen in therapy, the patterns I witnessed working in schools, and the limited research that exists. This isn’t about blame — it’s about starting a conversation we need to have. If this resonates with you, please share your thoughts in the comments. Let’s talk openly about fatherlessness, responsibility, and what we can do to break the cycle.

   He’s 14, She’s 24: Legally Abused, But He Says He Enjoyed It - Boys, Abuse, and the Silent Impact on Adult Relationships

   He’s 14, She’s 24: Legally Abused, But He Says He Enjoyed It - Boys, Abuse, and the Silent Impact on Adult RelationshipsI’m sitting across from a client, sometimes a grown adult, sometimes a teenager. They share something like, “I’ve always liked older women,” or “My first sexual experience was with someone much older.” I ask for a little more detail. Sometimes the client shares that the person was a parent, an uncle, or an adult family friend. Other times, it’s a non-family adult, thier best friends older sister, a girl they started talking to on snap or someone in their late 20s or 30s they met in a shop.You might be surprised, and even shocked, at how many boys and men I’ve sat across from in therapy who were, by legal definitions, sexually assaulted as children or teenagers, yet describe the experience as one of the best sexual experiences of their lives. They say they would do it again in a heartbeat, and they don’t identify it as traumatic. In contrast, I have never, in my counselling practice, heard a female client describe a similar scenario in that way. This raises an important question: if a boy or young man is sexually abused but does not perceive it as traumatic or a violation, does it still affect him?At first glance, these statements seem innocuous, even consensual. But as a psychotherapist, I know that early sexual contact with an adult carries complex psychological dynamics. The adult-child power imbalance is central: children’s brains, particularly in areas governing impulse control, emotional regulation, and relational reasoning, are still developing. Even when a boy experiences pleasure, excitement, or curiosity during these encounters, the experience can disrupt healthy sexual, emotional, and relational development.The full blog is at my substack cassimkaweesa.substack.com We hope you enjoy and do not forget to like and subscribe. https://linktr.ee/cassimkaweesa Substack/weekly blog is cassimkaweesa.substack.com Get in touch with me via: Malemindscounselling.com Instagram: cassimkaweesaofficial Twitter: Cassim Kaweesa
