Dive into "Fatherhood, Polygamy, and the Grace of God," the latest episode in the 132 Problems: Revisiting Mormon Polygamy series. This detailed audio overview explores the severe psychological and social effects of growing up in polygamous families, focusing intensely on the issue of fatherlessness.
The summary examines how the inherent structure of polygamous households limits paternal involvement, often leading to emotional detachment, identity struggles, and generational trauma among children. Learn how the lack of consistent father interaction can erode a child’s confidence (losing the confidence of children, as warned in Jacob 2:35) and make them vulnerable to manipulation and control. The overview reviews scientific studies highlighting the importance of father involvement in building self-esteem and emotional resilience.
Discover the distinct psychological toll on children: girls often struggle with self-worth issues and are statistically more likely to become teen mothers, while boys frequently face identity crises and behavioral issues, sometimes resulting in exile. The analysis contrasts parenting in monogamy versus polygamy, noting that polygamous settings can feature competitive dynamics among wives and children. Historical cases of neglect among the dozens of children of early leaders like Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball are reviewed, linking past patterns to modern groups like the FLDS under Warren Jeffs. The episode also suggests that the absence of a strong father figure contributes to a cultural misunderstanding of grace and works within Mormonism.
The host encourages listeners to re-examine traditional LDS teachings on polygamy and prioritize healthy, involved fatherhood to break these generational cycles.
