Thank you, Tim, for this wonderful article. Fathers matter - I see it in my office everyday as a marriage and family therapist.

On the other hand.......I was married for many years to a man I adored and married in the temple that was a secret pedophile and child molester. After 6 daughters and one son and many years I learned of his abuse on all of my children. He was the opposite of all these great qualities in your article. I can't begin to tell you of the horrible life he gave us all that is still awful. The damage is life-long for all. You probably will not share this but you should because it's more common than people realize. There is absolutely nothing more devastating and heartbreaking for any child or mother to face. There are things much, much more painful than death.
