Wishes of an absent father

How does a male child raised by a single mother learn how to be a man? Who teaches that child the responsibility of man and how a man should carry themselves in life?
Does not being present in the child's life become the vicious cycle that the son carries on? When does the cycle end? In this book, I will shed light on the biggest mistake that I made in my life and take full ownership of my decision.
This book will tell you the struggles that I had being a parent despite my desire to be the best parent that I could be. My goal was to break the cycle that I was born into but only succeed in continuing it.
The best way to change or break any cycle is by first admitting a need for change. I want my children not to make the same mistakes that I made as a parent. Even a lousy parent can teach a child valuable lessons from their mistakes.
