I always had two parents. I didn't always get along with either, but at least they loved each other and went out of their way to provide for me. (And still do).
There's this stereotype of the angstful/angry thug who grew up without a father. (Comes out in the lyrics of lots of gangsta-rap/hip-hop).
I'm curious; those of you men who spent a chunk of your childhood growing up without someone you called a father-- what was it like? Who was your role model for what it meant to be a man?
Would you say it majorly shaped who you are today?
