How Childhood Without a Father Affects a Person: 3 Main Traits

Many people underestimate the importance of the father figure's participation in a person's mental development.

However, the presence of a father in the family is just as important for a child as the presence of a mother.

What kind of person grows up when he spends almost his entire childhood without a father?

Psychologists claim that such a person acquires a number of extremely characteristic qualities.

Self-confidence and resilience

People who are used to living without a father tend to develop based on the idea that they can rely on no one but themselves.

Such people demonstrate self-confidence and resilience to the outside world; they have great difficulty accepting help from outsiders.

Strong resentment

Despite their outward independence, people who grew up without a father are forced to carry in their souls the burden of bitter resentment both towards their parents and towards the world around them.

As a rule, due to the stated reason, these individuals experience difficulty in building close relationships.

Mistrust and suspicion

A person who grew up without a father or was once abandoned by his father is used to relying solely on himself.

Such a person will not immediately open up to his potential friend or lover.
