Today the role of a father has greatly expanded? Has it evolved to reflect who we are as a human being as opposed to a narrowly defined behavior? Is fatherhood something innate to men or a process to be understood, and developed based upon our own personal histories? Is being a “good” father different than being a good person?

Abuse is not an accident. It does not happen because someone was stressed-out, drinking, using drugs, repressed or discriminated against. It is not an example of love gone amuck, as often characterized, but the absence of love and respect. The abuser has constructed a reality where their needs dominate relationships. Abusers have learned to satisfy this distorted sense of self through their abuse and feel justified in it's use whether physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological.

What were the social changes that account for the growth of intermarriage?
