Father's Day: Celebrating the men who step up when dad is gone

It’s that week of the year again, when fathers are dusted up from the cupboard and celebrated by millions for standing up for their families and sacrificing their all to raise children often in hostile and difficult conditions.

But it is also the week when another set of dads are desecrated by scarred children, wives and baby mamas for being absent, irresponsible, violent – basically crap. There are those who have nothing to celebrate, except that desolate grave in the corner of the compound where those who brought them forth to the world rest, hopefully in peace.
