First Look: Oprah's Lifeclass on Fatherless Sons

What if America's sons didn't have to grow up without their fathers? What difference could it make? It's a problem that's been going on for too long and at too great a cost. And it's time to talk about it.

What if America's sons didn't have to grow up without their fathers? What difference could it make? It's a problem that's been going on for too long and at too great a cost. And it's time to talk about it.

Tune in Sunday, May 5, at 9/8c for a special two-hour Oprah's Lifeclass with Iyanla Vanzant.

I hope this Lifeclass will have the courage (and honesty) to explore not only those cases where fathers have chosen not to be involved in their children's lives but also those where they have been forced out of their children's lives by hurt mothers who have been left or mothers who have moved on to another man and think all their children need is a "father figure," not a father. Until we change our laws and court practices to make true shared parenting the default arrangement for parents living apart (when there is no credible evidence of harm to the children), we and our legal system are co-conspirators in creating fatherless sons (and daughters).
