It's really hard to be emotionally invested when you're totally absent from most of their lives, though. It doesn't work the other way, i.e. it won't fix a bad father, but there are plenty of guys who could do better by literally just showing up.

Why would you be totally absent from most of their lives?

Divorce frequently leads to being absent at least half of the time, possibly more.

Yes, but that still leaves the other half. And the phone is always there, not to mention mode modern communication technology.
