Summary/Abstract: The presence of the father is necessary for a normal family life, both for the wife and children. This presence cannot be only passive, physical, it should concern active commitment of the father into the functioning of his family and into the process of upbringing children in particular. A child’s mentality is affected not only by the father’s absence, but also by pathology of paternity, which means the father who does not perform his functions or performs them in an inappropriate way.
