Ask Dr. Helen: Does a Father-Free Home Breed Success — Or Just Power-Hungry Politicians?
My Dad was mostly missing during my growing years. I saw him maybe twice, on rare occasions three times a year. He wasn;t a bad person, just a lazy POS musician.
anyway, in a way I guess I over compensated by having a survival drive, knowing I cannot count on anyome but me. Over the years I have gotten better, and am very successful, but not neccesarialy always happy. My mom, who tried to do it all, was always there for me, but also never had the guidance of a male figure to know when sometime she needed to say “yes” to things males do. Now I drive motorcycles to her chagrin, own a gun, have a wife who understands that and realizes there is no point in trying to change my mind. I guess I am living my childhood in my 40′s (we are childless due to medical issues). So in the end it balances out, but I agree if the balancing out is a politician who controls other people life it can be very scary.. No wonder I hate these politicians, I already have a hard enough time controlling my own life while they find new ways to screw it up…
