Studies have confirmed that two years after their parents have seperated, 50% of the children concerned have no or very little contact to their fathers. The search for causes and backgrounds leads to fingerpointing either at “impeding mothers” or at “abandoning fathers”. We try to analyze the motives leading to these “individual drama” and relate them to different concepts of masculinity and family. We want to reveal attitudes and factors which foster the father-child-relationship.
