When we talk about separated parents and of what would be right to do for them , we always need to remember that “everything” is not always possible. There are often obstacles that prevent fathersto do the fathers and sons to have intense and continued relationships with their fathers.

A work, the one fulfilled by Graziano Panfili, that may contribute to inspire men to be more concerned in the relationship and keeping of their children, paying serious attention to the public awareness about this social problem: the bond between father and son after the separation of married couples and the aftermath in everyday life relationship management.

«From a personal standpoint – comments Panfili – to realize these shots, a process of knowledge has begun inside of me related to who I was and who I’ve become today: the father I have become and my emotional experiences. Working on the relationship with my son showed me things I hadn’t seen outside of a picture nor I hadn't felt. This exciting process grew in time and developed through the growth of my son and our relationship. The relationship itself may become vehicle for a change: when a matter reaches the awareness, then, you can't act as if nothing has happened».
