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.
