Once i drowned in depression, i came back with a mental fortitude of FTW. What drives me to let go of being fatherless is looking forward to being the greatest father ever some day.

Staying Positive, Getting Better Everyday. Holler!
Like someone else said, I just lived.
I still live at home, but I have money saved to leave, and I'm teaching myself the important things in life. Also I have a lot of older friends in their 30's and 40's and they've given me tips on life.
I mean think about it. All you have to do is really peep game and educate yourself, which is by default your main objective whether fatherless, motherless, or with no parents at all.

Weirdly enough, I consider my father the better parent, even though the only time I got to see him was when he'd waved at me as he drove past me when I walked home from school everyday until he died when I was 6 or 7. I kinda wish my mother was in the car with him when he crashed.
Didn't really bother me growing up without a father, even though I feel like I missed/missing out on certain things only a father/male role model can teach you.

My siblings and I went through some serious hard times without are father around. My mom had to carry herself by the bootstrap as the sole leader of the home. We were lucky to have generous uncles and a few other male relatives for assistance and guidance.
I just lived my life the best I could, my step father wasn't much a good influence, dude was a selfish asss nicca. My Uncle held me down a bit. But I was lucky to have great friends who really looked after me.
My Dad was kinda in my life till was 8, after just a couple of birthday gifts here and there, He died about 9 years ago, didn't really give a damn at all. And of course he left a mess behind him.
till this day, folks are still trying challenge and contest his will(which i was included in)

Lowkey this thread should be 20 pages long and be rated five stars cause this shyt is something a young fatherless nikka might stumble on and really save himself some headaches.
Anyway, coming up fatherless you really have to learn alot of shyt on your own. My dad was around till I was six yars old but after that he was gone, and those are really the most crucial years. Learning how to tallk to women, how to give a handshake, how to fight..these are things your old man is supposed to show you and I had to learn them on my own...My advice to any young brehs growing up without a pops, is read. Alot of books contain little grains of life knowledge that can save you from making small mistakes along the road in lfe. Also join a forum like this and listen to knowledgeable old heads drop gems.

Trial and error, basically. I had my stepfather, but I never learned anything from him. It was quite unfortunate; Never had anyone teach me to fight, a proper handshake, none of that shyt. I pretty much had to learn everything on the fly, and don't even get me started on females....
So basically, I've never really had anyone I look up to or at as a father figure. I'm thinking that my be a good thing, though. In my mind, it's kind of like how Neil Degrasse Tyson once put it: People shouldn't be looking up to role models, they're overrated. Be your own role model....
Wouldn't that be nice? Knowing in the end, you did it your way?........

I had a father and a grandfather in my life til i was around 4-5. Then i moved with my moms... And WE moved in with my granny and aunt 
There was no real men in my life until i became a man myself
My moms was not very maternal and kinda fukkin crazy so it wasn't no babying and hand holding going on. My moms was not super feminine and empathetic. Still ended up being an emotional little nikka til i was around 14 or so. Around this time i got into graffiti and started leaving the hood. Staying out late in foreign places, stealing, and having to defend myself and my homies taught me a lot. Gave me confidence and responsibility thru experience. From that point on i've been slowly shaking off the bullshyt of being raised by a single mother in a house full of women.
If i had a dad around i feel he could have gave me guidance and kept me on track and more importantly he could have balanced out my moms extremes and kept her ass in check. Which would have been great for me
