In the closed era birth fathers were said to be 'sowing their wild oats' and not looked down on per se because if a woman became pregnant they were 'loose' and who knew how many men she had slept with...gag...If they 'escaped' marriage and mothers were sent away their friends (and perhaps family) probably congratulated them for escaping the noose...makes me sick to my stomach...gag.
In defense of birth fathers, they weren't pregnant and most probably cannot truly 'get it' until after the child is born and they bond...if they don't get that chance then the child remains unreal to them.
Hopefully birth fathers will chime in.
Kind regards,
