Advice for Fathers

Dear Victorious,

If you could give one piece of advice to fathers in America today, what would it be?

Dear Cindi,

I believe there is a severe shortage of leadership in fathers today. So I would tell fathers to grow up, take command and start leading their families. Too many men have abdicated their leadership roles - usually to their wives. Too many men have been emotionally absent from their children's lives. We have too many grown men walking around today not knowing how to be men, how to love or how to lead. They were never taught by their fathers. That cycle has been perpetuating itself ever since America entered the industrial age. And it's time that cycle is broken.
