Many children don’t relate well with their fathers due to mothers’ influence – Kwabena Kwabena

According to highlife artist Kwabena Kwabena, some dads do not develop healthy connections with their children because they avoid their obligations.

In an interview on Hitz FM, the acclaimed artiste said some mothers, in their desire to be the favoured parent, inadvertently create barriers between fathers and their children, disregarding the potential consequences.

Kwabena Kwabena, who is also a father, emphasized that it is quite unlikely for any parent to harbor hatred for their children by expressing his or her profound love and devotion for them.

“I am a father, and how I feel within me about the children I have, and how I love them, I don’t think anyone hates their own children. If you find any man in any situation where he looks as if he doesn’t have a relationship with his children, or he is not around, mostly 90 per cent it is caused by the mothers,” he stressed.

He also made note of the fact that women frequently are not aware of the long-term effects of such dynamics.

“At a point, they compete with the men to become the favourites. You are both parents, so why would you want to be their favourite? We all grew up not liking our fathers, it was until I grew up that I developed a relationship with my father. And women don’t see the impact of these things… My mum was guilty until she realized that she was wrong by wanting to get everything for herself.”
