I think that it is important to teach these fatherless children the importance of acting as individuals, and not as a product of unfortunate circumstance. I, myself, come from a fatherless home.

It gives him too much power over me, and too many ways for me to get out of taking the responsibility and blame.

I hope that makes sense.
