Fatherless kids, like Trumps and Elons, and generations of attendees at East coast preparatory boarding schools, seem very strange to us in the Midwest. It’s certainly against everything I have ever known. My Dad’s entire existence was based on being actively involved with our family.
I wonder how many of us work for someone (whether it be the CEO, board member, or director of a material shareholder wealth fund) who effectively grew up without an active father? Quite a few of us, I’d bet.
