Men are also a large part of the growing crisis in the American family.
Men are increasingly isolated from their families by work and divorce. A recent poll indicated that men are increasingly unhappy about this situation. The increasing number of divorces is also taking a toll on fathers. Many fathers are unable to interact with their children because of legal and emotional barriers following divorce. This has led to children being deprived of fathers and also to their psychological devastation of fathers unable to be with their children.
