Knowing myself I probably wouldve loved having a dad
>>77997474I would've hated it. One authority figure is more than enough. Two? I would've killed myself by age 13 for sure. Especially since men are typically more aggressive and unforgiving as authoritative figures. Almost every time I see a father interacting with his child, especially a son, I think to myself, thank fucking God I've never been in that kid's shoes.People often say kids raised by single moms are fucked up, which I guess in my case is true, but I'm very convinced I'd be so much more fucked up than I already am with a dad in the picture. I'd definitely be long dead by now.

>>77997474I was never close to my father and I'm only mildly close to my stepfather. Every older male in my life has been a loser in at least like three ways so I've never had a lot to look up to.
>>77998745>I'm glad I was born in a broken familyThis but completely unironically. I have a brain that functions very differently from the average person's (for better and worse) so a lot of things wouldn't affect me the way they would everyone else. Having a father figure might be great for most people but for me the absence of one is something I consider a blessing because in all likelihood I'd be dead WITH one.
>>77997474Fuck bros I'm so receptive to learning the traditional "manly" stuff. I'm constantly hanging around the older handyman dudes at work whenever they have their toolboxes out. I could've been so cool, skilled and confident if I had a dad like that growing up. If I had that guidance and teaching from a young age instead of blindly trying to fix things and play catch-up in my 20s.
