The absence of the father severely impacts the mental health of sons and daughters, particularly in their emotional development. The paternal figure is key for self-regulation, empathy, and the ability to establish healthy bonds. It also profoundly influences the emotional stability of women, both as daughters and partners. The relational health of the couple is the core of well-being for the entire family. The active and affectionate presence of men in the family is essential for the family’s emotional balance.
