we're you raised with your father?

Question

we're you raised with your father? do you ever get to see him? if you've never seen him or you dont really know him.... how did you trun out?

Answer 1

well it seems that now a days most kids grow up without ever meeting their fathers but most of them turn out fine... it just all depends on who is raising them and how they do it... me personally i'm doing fine

Answer 2

I had a wonderful father, who was everything a father should be; but when he died when I was just 21 I sometimes wondered if it would have been better not to have loved him so much. Having a wonderful father around and losing him may in ways be worse than never having a father around. If you have a good father that you don't see but that you talk to and who loves you its kind of sad that you don't see him more, but you'll be ok. If you have a father who isn't the best at being a father and who you don't see, forgive him for not being able to be the kind of father you'd like and for not being around, but you'll be ok. You're better off without an iffy father around and with just a good mother around. I know a lot of people who were raised without a father around, and they're fine. They just have to accept that this is a crummier thing than they would like when it comes to having their father around, but no matter what your situation is there is likely to be some crummy part of it that you need to just accept.

People turn out ok more often than you'd think. Having a good father around is the best thing, having a good father not around is the next best thing, having a bad father not around is the next best thing after that - and the worst thing for you would be to have a bad father (even if he can't help it) around. Enjoy that you won't go through what I did when it comes to losing a great father. Trust me on this - there's a good side to your situation.

Answer 3

My parents got a divorce when I was 3 and I lived with my mother and step-father from the time I was 4 till I went to college. My "father" would appear maybe once a month for about an hour when I went to see my grandma and make all kinds of promises that were never kept, I wasn't allowed to stay at his house because his live in only wanted her kids around. I never had a relationship with him until I was about 22 and then we started to talk and build it back although it was never the sme. I had a father in my step dad and he was great still is and I turned out fine and what I went through helped me be more understanding with my ex when we were in court and helps me to deal with my step kids.

Answer 4

Yup. In fact, I was raised by my father mainly. Everyone should have a father. Mothers are overrated. In reality, a mother can't provide certain things a father can. Much of it includes emotional growth, a bond, how to struggle in life, etc, etc. How can a woman give a boy this bond that men are capable of doing. Camaraderie and male teamship is not in her nature.

Answer 5

My father left home when i was 9, it was tadgic, but at the same time a good thing. He used to beat me when he lived at home. I still saw him and do see him on occasion, but he knows nothing about me and i know nothing about him. I have some issues from being beat as a kid, but other than that im fine.

Answer 6

I have not lived with my dad since I was like 11 or so and I think I am doing just fine with out him. he didn't seem interested in us after my folks split and I still don't hear from him to this day... I'm 34 now

Answer 7

I was lucky, I always had my dad there( daddies little girl) Although my daughters dad is not there for her, she's 10 and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. She considers her step dad her dad
