Absent Father

Absent Father

My seven year old daughter has not seen her father since she was three. I have looked everywhere for books on this topic and all I'm finding are books about divorce with only a paragraph or two on the subject. I would like to be able to help her through this and I need a little help. Are there any books specific to this type of issue? Has it not been studied as much as kids of divorce?          Thank you,
                   Stephanie

Dear Stephanie,

There's no doubt that the specific topic of father absence during the formative years has not been studied as a clinical phenomenon to the extent that divorce has been studied. However, there are some resources you might find helpful: Longing for Dad: Father Loss and Its Impact (by Beth Erickson), Where's Daddy (by Claudette Wassil-Grimm), Daughters without Dads (by lois Mowday Rabey).
