The stifled male, disconnected and out of touch, fills the void with apathy or anger, and the toll is staggering: short, unhealthy lives, ruined relationships, and damaged children. This destructive behavior repeats itself in the next generation as the sins of the father continue the cycle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003e Becoming the Kind Father, \u003c\/i\u003e Calvin Sandborn aims to break that cycle.
