The absence and presence of his father helped shaped him into the man he grew up to be. The emotional abuse Yunior was subjected to influenced him negatively from his minimal memories of his father. With his father being an antagonistic character, Yunior tries to give a different perception of Ramon by telling us his story of the struggles he went through to gain citizenship in America. In this novel, Yunior's father, Ramon, came in and out of the family's life. In Junot Diaz's powerful book, "Drown," deal with Yunior's father, either by his presence or by his absence. Issues such as poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, failure to complete high school or college, health related problems and emotional disorders, are all common "side effects" of being the child of an MIA dad. It's not uncommon for a child with an absentee father to grow up in difficult circumstances.
