How can a boy recognise how a man should behave with a woman, when he's had little or no experience in his upbringing?
i raised my son. he is a good man. infact, he is a great man.
how did this happen without his father being there?
many ways.
1) my older brother was active in my son's life and lived only a block away.
2) my friend's husband spent time regularly with my son, as did other male friends of mine (friends, not partners)
3) he had several male teachers as he went through school.
4) he is athletic, so also had male coaches
yes, it's not the same...but i gotta tell ya...he is a good man with great values. and i am positive that the lessons and values he learned are much more than his biological father could of ever provided. he did see his dad on ocassion but not often. i left his dad the day i found out i was pregnant. i gave him a choice...be a part of this and quit drinking, or keep drinking.
i made the right choice. i always understood that my son was a gift to be treasured.
i'm curious now...since you mentioned you raised your daughter....
was that without her mother? and do you apply the same misconceptions to her abilities?
