Single mother child here
Im a completely empty defective human
Send me back to the factory for a refund

Yep single mother here.

My brother and sister were older so got time with mum and dad when they were young but my parents split before I was 1. I really think if I had a father in my life things could of been different I could have had confidence, courage I could of been a man instead of a man child I needed my dad to be there for me and he wasn't.

Yep i know that feel dude
I dont even know my fathers name or what he looks like
When people say the word father im automatically distanced from it as its just "one of those things other people have"
I have 2 brothers all to different fathers

I actually had really good parents and they're still married.

They were just distant and stopped giving a shit that their son was failing school and sitting in his room all day

I can't really relate to the broken family robots which is sort of alienating in itself

not single mother but my parents used to argue all the time (literal crazy shouting for hours) and still lived together because they're just too trashy to "think of the children".

Product of a single mother here.

I look at the past with fondness, and she worked really hard to make it work, but it's really left me in a bad way.
I've almost become the eternal outsider.

We were poor as fuck, but like mum managed to negate that by being really clever financially. We lived in a well off area, but we went without certain luxuries, like I didn't go to any 'school camps' in High School (they were out of our financial reach), which meant I missed out on real life socialisation.
I'm also in the early stages of becoming a tranny, which is annoying but handleable.

Also as a result of the tight financial situation, I also never got the internet until the last few years of High School (early 2010s). So even online I feel like an outsider.

Parents divorced then got back together but it left me kinda fucked up. The divorce was clearly my mom's fault and I spent my time distracting my hate for her by playing WoW. So now I am a misogynistic hikki.

ye single mother parent, she just ran out of energy doing everything on her own
it's the greatest rift in my life,
I blame my mother for abandoning me
But I pity her for how alone she was

My parents stayed together regardless of hating eachother and it clearly showed in their relationship. It made me think their relationship was functional and scared me away from being with others in case I ended up like them.

I was used to isolation because I went to day care from the age of 1 almost all day and my mum is a manipulative borderline so I just stopped speaking to people.

Raised by single Mother since 12.
Dad was a beta who never gave me attention or validation, only criticism.
It wasnt the 'help you improve' criticism. It was cynicism from the mind of a negative person with a failed life. He never so much as kicked a ball with me. I tried to watch sports with him but he would ignore me when I asked the rules.
Ever since I was young, before my life was bad in any way whatsoever, I felt empty. Always lacking. No confidence or self esteem. There was always something desperately missing. I had a loving, doting mother, this was my only parental influence. So of course I grew up a little bitch.

Looking back now it is so obvious where all my problems stem from.
It is well documented that children, especially boys, NEED a competent father figure.

No matter what I do in life, it can never be fully fixed. My psyche during my formative years was moulded like that.

My parents didn't divorce before I was 17 but me and my dad barely talked to each other until he moved out. He sometimes yelled at me when I skipped school that's it. It's not quite like not having a dad I guess but it's somewhat sort of similar.

Raised by a single mom. Thankfully a loving single mom that worked hard to make my life the best it could be. My dad ditched as soon as he found out she was pregnant. Probably better off without him.

Still, it's not ideal and I think being raised in a broken family is the primary cause of my BPD and persistent depressive disorder. I was never bullied, beaten, abused, raped, neglected or anything. So I don't know what else would cause it.

Raised by bipolar single mom and an autistic big brother shit was weird

Parents got divorced when i was a kid, had to constantly change who i was getting raised by for every 3-4 years

Fuck off with this single parent meme, i know plenty of succsessful people raised by single mothers.
Youre looking for an excuse but the fact is its YOUR OWN FAULT that youve turned out the way you are.
Youre like those people who take depression tests online and then circle jerk in threads who is the most depressed, or take other disorder tests and selfdiagnose yourselves. Disgusting.

I hate women and feminism as much as the next guy but jesus christ always with this single mother bullshit. There's more than one factor youre fucked up.
Youre trying to get an easy pass and something to blame for your own short comings
