I grew up fatherlesness myself and it left me feeling weak growing up. As a child, I had to figure everything out by myself.
- loopz 6y agoIf it's any comfort, you can have a father and still become "fatherless", or better off without one.
- astura 6y agoYep, grew up with a father physically present, the only thing I learned from him is how unlovable I am. I had to figure everything out myself too.
- bigfudge 6y agoThe problem here is confounding. Do we think there are no causes of fatherlessness that are also causes of poorer life outcomes (hint: there are plenty). Given this it's very hard to see clearly how much impact this makes, all the personal anecdotes here notwithstanding.
