psychologically - 10points? Okay well basically, I'm taking a sociology class, and I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
So I had my "father" around until I was about 7 years old.
The thing is he never lived with us, he came around to visit maybe once or twice a week .. I don't really remember because I was too young.
He never really spent time with me and he was NOTHING like a father at all.
I remember, I was always so depressed and sad as a child and I would be upset everyday because I knew my dad would be coming over, and I hated him so much, I didn't want him around me or my mom. Finally my mom broke things off with him because she saw that I was very uncomfortable with him around, and it was too painful for her and me. My mom always tells me that I'm the most important thing to her, thats why she broke things off with him.
I'm very happy that hes gone now, but I am also filled with a lot of anger inside because of the way he acted. He never made the effort to bond with me as a father, he never acted like a father and always made me feel insecure.
I was just wondering .. how does or might it affect me psychologically?
Thanks a lot
