Earning the Label of Fatherhood

When The Woman Abused Was You by Dawn Scott Damon

One of the key elements which defines a father is his protection role. By violating his daughter, young and vulnerable, the father character depicted in When The Woman Abused Was You, has failed to perform a crucial role which is attached to his status as a father. Does he still qualify as a father? Should the status of a "father" still be extended to him?

I think the label of Fatherhood should be well-earned and not just conferred on by biological ties.

I concur, my dad is late,since 2005,when I was six, I have blurry memories of him,presently for 6 years I have been living with my dad's elder brother who has children of his own, I call him my dad, not for calling sake but because he is worth it, he earned it,he had taken care of my siblings and I as his own,so I concur with your thought that the label of a father is not through biological ties

Thanks, Preciosonic, for your contribution. Yes, the status of fatherhood is attached to roles. So good to know your uncle effectively functions in the role performance of a father to you and your siblings.

I am blessed to have him.
