About this ebook

I started this journey around 2001, to write a book about the role that fathers did not play or could not play but wanted to play in the lives of their offspring. However, due to internal factors and external factors, fathers did not meet the expectations of society, nor their childs or of their own. This book is not designed to be an outlet for men to berate women about them having to pay child support but, more about the experiences men go through from their lenses. I want to reiterate the point that this is not an attempt to influence the courts or the court of public opinion to alleviate the males responsibility of his financial obligations. I have witnessed firsthand the struggle of single mothers and the things they have to endure. However, there are elements out there that want to portray men as the culprit of some sort of dark evil element that is causing the family dynamic to be annihilated. There are facets involved in the complexities of raising a family; unfortunately, the men roles are vanishing. There are systems designed to alter the natural function that the fathers play in their children lives.This book will attempt to input a collage of ideas from the author to paint the picture of the challenges fatherless fathers encounters in their pursuit to be fathers.

Author

Arnold Shurn

I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I attended Forest Hill Parkway Elementary, Hamilton Jr. High and John Adams High School. I graduated from Cuyahoga Community College with an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. I obtained my Bachelor Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies at Benedict College in South Carolina University in Professional Counseling. I served honorably in the U.S. Army. Speech written during my candidacy for Councilman: I am a Community activist & public servant, so don’t get me confused with the political rhetoric I am that person who is unafraid and unapologetic when it comes to addressing the concerns of our community. I am fighting to reverse the mental psychosis of a hopeless people who have been: criminalized, demoralized, marginalized, dehumanized, and it is time for us to wake up and realize we on the verge of genocide. I want this community to know that I hear your silent voices, and I see your tears of hopelessness. “I know change is often an uncomfortable. “My priority is to continue to support the grassroots,” organizers and like minded people who are committed to making our communities a safe& decent place to live. I know the heart piercing pain of these senseless acts of violence, because I lost three brothers to these senseless acts of violence.
