I don't know how a household can run without a Solid Man in it. My dad was far from perfect, but he protected us and kept our bad azzes on the straight and narrow for most part. Just knowing I had a hero to run to when I was wronged or physically hurt by someone. My mom is too sweet to be challenging anyone really. She's not built to be a fighter or aggressive. But my dad kicked a lot of ass A real Commander. That warmth and protection gave me more confidence and bravado growing up. And I can only imagine how not having warm and protection in a home effect your psyche.
Could that be the reason so many people from single parent homes have so many issues. So ready to argue and shoot. Is that some type of defense mechanism?
Not only having a father is screwed up, but not having both, your mother and father's side of the family to help guide and nurture thru the crazy life. My uncles and older cousins gave me so much knowledge and game about life.
"Don't do that, do this.
Stay away from them people.
I can show you how to fix that.
This girl I know likes you, she's cool. "

Having both sides is a blessing. I love both sides of my family and have 1st cousins that are like brother and sisters on both sides.
You really do your child a huge disservice and you disadvantage them tremendously by not choosing a solid Mother or Family with a great family for them, but we don't like to talk about this in the Black Community because it makes are Single Moms look bad. But stats show the most criminals and mental health cases are from people from single parent homes.
