Shakespeare Father Interpretation

Wonder what is up with Shakespeare and his father son relationships in his plays. Either the son witnesses the father being killed or the father witnesses the sons death. It also seems to be that the relationships between the two are very much important to the outcome of the other. For example Macduff is shown as a bad father by leaving his family behind and this causing Macbeth to kill his kids and wife. Banquo on the other hand caring for his son Fleance, this shown by putting his own life before his sons, and later assumed he lives and continues on to have his family and be successful in life. Father and son relationships determine the families fate?
