Here's why I'm glad I had a father who did absolutely nothing for me when I was a child.

I wanted to write this as a response to a comment in a post, but once I started writing the comment, I realized it started sounding like a completely different post. So I'd like to share this one personal story of mine that describes why I'm glad I had a father who did fuck all for me when I was a kid.<br><br>My father was a big drinker and a smoker, and he used to come home late from work, and when he did, he'd barely say a word and just take a crap in the bathroom, and then literally go to his room to sleep.<br><br>He would rarely make food for me or my sister, and he just let us figure things out for ourselves. He never once showed me how to do anything, like how to replace the lights or how to fix anything around the house. He never was there to help me with my homework, and he barely even talked to me.<br><br>And I'm really glad he was like that because I realized at a very young age that I needed to figure things out for myself. I realized that I needed to stop relying on others to do things for me, and that I didn't need anyone's validation or approval to be someone else.<br><br>I think many modern women and some modern men are so incapable of doing anything because their parents did everything for them. They're literally not able to do anything on their own. And I'm so glad that my father didn't give me that gift, because I don't want to rely on anyone else to do anything for me.<br><br>I realize that if you didn't have a good father like that, then that sucks, and I'm not attacking anyone personally. I'm just explaining why I'm glad my father was the way he was.
