I always had a circle of friends who were much older than me whatever they did, I did. I was pretty much left to my own devices as a teenager. My two older sisters were preoccupied with their college studies. I would never portray my mother under a negative light she loves her children, and she did the best she could.
My mother was justifiably busy holding down a job that supported the entire household. When I was younger, I battled several addictions. More Likely to Use Drugsįatherless children are more likely to turn to drugs. From my own experience, I know that children who grow up fatherless are at a much greater risk for depression and, unfortunately, suicide. In addition, one of the most unnerving statistics is that nearly 65% of youth suicides are associated with fatherless homes. I made healthy friendships that exposed me to a lot of positivity and optimism. I could never be myself with my friends or anyone in my social circle I always carried the feeling that I was damaged or unwanted. I was introverted, and I never really opened myself up to others. I always believed there must be a reason why my father wasn't ever there for me. Over the course of my life, I've had very few conversations with my father. The psychological effects of growing up without a father can lead to self-esteem issues. Don't be afraid to lean on your teammates for emotional support and reassurance. I also remember high school teachers and college professors who went out of their way to urge me to apply myself and do better. I attribute this to the ongoing support of my friends and their unrelenting efforts to help me restore balance in my life. Thankfully, I have always managed to pull through these bouts of depression.
