Do you mean in comics or in life? Because that might be your personal experience, but statistics show it's actually the opposite. Mothers make up 71% of neglect, abandonment, or abuse cases. They also are the parent (by their own admission) that finds parenthood "tiring", no matter their role or level of involvement with their children. They also find it harder to control their emotions when their children upset them, and have more of a tendency towards corporal punishment than fathers.
If that is your personal experience, I'm sorry. I had the complete opposite. Abusive mother and stepfather but a wonderful saint of a dad. I've also let go of many friends because I couldn't stand to see the way they mothered their children and they didn't listen to any of my warnings. I see the same thing daily with more moms being the "bad" parent over the dad. I've seen my fair share of bad dads too. Not negating that. They're out there. Hell, my husband had a shit one. But statistics show there are far more bad moms than bad dads.
I hope you're doing okay if it is the case that you had a bad father. Having a bad parent is the worst, regardless of which one that happens to be.
What do you mean? Just because I gave an answer that was backed up by facts and personal experience, it's not "normal"??? I'm not offended and I'm most certainly not trying to offend you. I'm just saying that I'd rather explain myself fully than say "you're statistically wrong" and move on... I am aware I'm long winded though and have a tendency to ramble because of what I find relevant. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I had an abusive mother and stepfather. I didnt get out until I was 23. Even after that I tried to give my mother chances, hoping she'd change. NOPE. I haven't spoken to her in years and I'm better for it. The disappointment is crushing when you find out a parent is the person that hurts you the most. I hope you're doing better.
My mom kidnapped me and my siblings and took us across the country. I only got to see my dad during the summer until I was about 16 and she stopped sending me back. Why, I haven't a clue. My mom is just a borderline sociopath with a nasty narcissisticstreak and victim syndrome--so she knows what's right and wrong and why, but doesn't care who she hurts if it's inconvenient for her or doesn't get her the attention she wants. My step-monster was an airforce drunk with prodigal son syndrome and also narcissism. He and my mother were two peas in a pod. Pretty sure my mom only left him because the teachers started asking questions about my bruises my senior year. I was finally able to leave when I was 23 because my boyfriend (now hubby) offered to let me stay with him when my mother got us evicted. Almost 10 years later and I still struggle with some stuff, but I'm a damn sight happier. Lol.
Parents.
I have been before. And in my first comment, no it was not. I won't explain the basics of laying out an argument again as I've already done so. I will say, however, there is no need to be rude nor condescending which is how you are coming off. And no, my statistics are not wrong. That number doesn't come out of thin air. Do your research. The numbers are their in black and white. Just because society has taught us to live with a stereotype doesn't mean that it's true. It's normally far different in reality, actually. Like the idiom "blood is thicker than water" is used incorrectly all the time. The true meaning is the direct opposite but society has twisted it to suit personal gains for whatever reason.
I'm from America and have studied the topic extensively for my career. The statistics are fact. It is a misguided stereotype to assume that more fathers abandon their children. It's a trope and it's not based in reality. It's just what society thought as the norm before technology and case study caught up. If you can't accept fact, that's on you, but don't try and condescending when you obviously don't know what you're talking about outside of a erroneous information from 30 years ago.
Good fathers are very rare
