My father had an accident when I was 2. I had zero father-figure in my life. My mother had boyfriends, but they were just dudes to me.Any boy growing up with a strong Father figure in their life is better equipped to achieve things in life, that shouldn't be a surprise to people.....
My father had an accident when I was 2. I had zero father-figure in my life. My mother had boyfriends, but they were just dudes to me.
I ended up being my father's caretaker, at the end of his life and after 3 decades of moving him from nursing homes to head injury centers, all the while he never knew who the hell I was.
My mother would tell him I was his youngest son and he would give me the bird and yell "Liar!".
I ended up a good man. A successful (I think anyways) person in my area of business and happy. I have a very happy family and I'm proud of it.
I get that kids having a good, strong father can be an advantage, but it's not the end-all be-all for figuring life and it's challenges out.
There are many single-parent children and they carry Amazing within them.
Fine. Whatever man. I'm not going to fight on this hill. Not worth it.There's many more single parent children that don't unfortunately....nobody is saying it's the end all be all but the stats are clear, when any child, especially a boy is brought in a strong Father two parent family environment, they do much better...

I dislike definitive statements on such a thing that cannot be definitive.he didnt say players who didnt have a bond with their dads couldn't or wouldn't make it...he said players with a bond were better equipped.
just sayin...he didnt say what he didnt say.I dislike definitive statements on such a thing that cannot be definitive.
