When William Howard Lee Jr. enrolled at Fathers’ Support Center in St. Louis, he carried burdens that his children couldn’t see: He grew up without his father, and his stepfather beat his mom before leaving when Lee was 6. Lee was an ex-con struggling to find a better job. But he was determined to be a better father than anyone had been to him. “I want to break a generational curse and show my children how to be more productive as a father,” he says.
