In Book One in The Odyssey, what problems did Odysseus' absence cause for his wife and son?

In addition to the great frustration these suitors have
caused Penelope, Telemachus has been growing up in the shadow of a great reputation
having no opportunity to learn from this great and mighty warrior, King Odysseus. The
suitors make fun of him and he has to watch their ill treatment of his mother. No son
wants to experience that.

Telemachus' life will turn out to
be a childhood and adolescence of growing fury and anger. Fortunately for him, there
will be a time and a place when he will get to display that.
