do you wish you had a more loving father ?

Question

would that have changed your life for the better and made you a more confident person?

Answer 1

Very personal question ,,close to home for me,
But yes i wish my father was around when i was growing up.
But My father God is way better

Answer 2

I wish everyday that I had a loving father but those days are gone now. I'm old enough to realize that you don't need your dad. I had my mom and she did more than enough. I use to think that I would've been a better person if he was around but then I started thinking that him not being around probably made me smarter and think about what people are saying and they're actions. When I was growing up I didn't trust men and I still don't, if he was around I probably would've gotten really really hurt by guys because I'd put all my trust in them without thinking about it first. Just remember, there's a reason for why things happen. Good luck!!

Answer 3

I had a father who blew his brains out. He had some real problems (obviously). Sometimes I'd think how life would had been if he had stayed alive. Considering his track record when he was alive I would say I would of had a much harder road to travel down if he had lived.
Sooooooooo, I guess your question really depends on what "type" of father your talking about, don't you think.
And yes I think parents have a very big repsonsibility to there children to raise them as good as they possibly can. Some people (parents) just don't get that. It amazes me how when (some) not all parents seem to forget what it was like when they were children.

Answer 4

I think it would have definitely made me more confident!!..I mean I guess i come out strong because of it..and appreciate the few people I DO have in my life more..bu i just dont know why he couldnt have been there for me..I havent saw him since i was 14....7 years ago..and he doesnt live all that far from me at all..and he is a trucker..but its easy to pick up a phone and dial :(

Answer 5

Yeah, i think so definately! I think that it would have affected my relationships with men and males in general better.

The way my dad has always been, I always felt that i have to achieve things on my own and fight super hard for what I have. It has its benefits because you appreciate things more becase you had to work hard for it.

But then sometimes you get so tired of fighting and you wonder how it is that you grow up so fast and you never going to have the opportunity to just be the child and let him fix it.

Answer 6

Because of him, it sort of made me want to be less like him. I think about how he treats people, and try to do the opposite.

If he was more loving, I would probably be a lot less cynical of father-relationships, and maybe even less of an asshole in high school.

Answer 7

My father showed much love, guidance and moral support but I wish he would be a much more understanding parent who knows what my life would have been.

Answer 8

My father once smacked me in the head for vomiting when I was sick and told me I was weak and stupid. Can't get more loving than that.

But you know what? Being treated like dirt all my life made me a stronger person. It made me want to prove to everyone who abused me that I didn't deserve what they did to me.

Answer 9

No, my father is extremely loving and made me the best person I can be. I'm grateful for it too.

Answer 10

No, people with really loving fathers turn out to be wussies and taken advantage of. My dad was tuff and cold and my mom was loving.
It evens out. I know how to be a man and how to be also nice to the ladies.
