The fact is,children don't judge their fathers worth by the amount of money he makes or the monetary value of gifts he may give them. Rather,what children really want-far more than material gifts-is their father's love,time and attention. These are what truly matter to them

Why are so many fathers today physically, mentally and emotionally absent from their familes?

My thought is as with any role in life their must be a model to follow. A lot of our "fathers" today didn't have a Father to mold themselves after or a stable male in their life to learn what type of man fills the shoes of a Father. There are a lot of "Daddies" but few we can call "Father". Our young mothers of today do not find it necessary to give their young sons this vital image, or correct behavior that is not leading to the man they would need to be to raise a family, have a home, or in a lot of cases become a productive male in society. We leave a lot of the male discipline to "Wait until I tell your Father, or wait until your Daddy gets here", knowing Daddy is not coming because we use the child as a bargaining chip for money, time, or just because we can.
As women we must put value in the male's role in our families and communities and past that value to both our son's and daughters. Mother's and Father's are the foundation of the child's growth, without that foundation they may survive but they are missing the substance needed to balance their life for future generations.
