Before Justice Hope Coleman was born, nurses in an antenatal testing center provided her parents with support and encouragement, the first steps in empowering them in their roles as parents of a child with multiple disabilities and complex medical needs. Over time, other nurses supported Justice's parents as they learned to communicate clearly and collaboratively with professionals; to provide a high level of care for their daughter in a loving, family-oriented way; and to advocate not only for Justice and their family as a whole, but also for other children and families in the healthcare system. This article describes the important role nurses played in empowering Justice's parents.

The phenomena of father's absence and the disruption of a family unit due to social justice issues like incarceration and mental health/substance misuse challenges are widely documented, and their effects on the whole family are well established in the literature. This paper specifically examines how systemic inequities like racism contribute to destructive entitlements that can occur transgenerationally within families affected by father's absence. The consideration of racial trauma is crucial, as father's absence and family disruption are not limited to any one racial or ethnic group, but the effects are often exacerbated for families of color due to the intersecting impacts of systemic racism.
