Resentment defined: aggrieved feelings caused by a sense of having been badly treated. Aggrieved defined: to cause somebody pain, trouble, or distress (Encarta Dictionary)
Resentment of the father is a curse with dire reckoning. Nothing can compare to it as a generator of societal evil. Fathers need to be present in their children’s lives to discipline, show memorable investments of time, and to always be a dependable resource. Beyond a mother’s love, nothing makes a greater and longer lasting impression on a child. Nothing comes close to comparing with it when absent as motivator of destructive behavior lasting long term. Whereas no discipline, no investment of time, no dependability cast a very long shadow of destructiveness, its opposite greatly affirms the offspring and gives deep chords of peace. Fatherhood properly fulfilled is an essential ingredient for societal health and individual happiness.
