to those who only grew up with one parent
what was your experience?
I never met my father (he abandoned my mother the day I was born), and even though she stayed very quiet about him (I did try and ask), the bits she did tell me painted him as an aweful man
my mother was very abusive to me, and didn't act like a parent at all- when she finally kicked me out of the house, I never went looking for the father- A he didn't sound like a nice person, B, all I had was a first name (and it was a very common name, too)
I don't feel I grew up with any parents. my mother certainly wasn't there for me, and I'm sure meeting my father would have made much difference if she said he was abusive and cruel.
male influence would have been nice. but there you go
