[quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when I was four, and, although I had a few "aunties" along the way I was raised primarily by my father. He didn't remarry until I was in my 20s, already out of the house, and in grad school. I have a relationship with my mother, but he was my primary parent. I get emotional intelligence from dad, and sense of fair play, and respect, so I feel I did not miss out on nurturing. My mother get stressed out easily, and so I think I was fortunate that dad got me. I think I missed out on the family connections that mothers bring, fathers/men aren't the best at building community - especially with other women, women can do that better. I also missed the traditional two parent home, which I think helps with balance. I am married with three, and we are doing fine.[/quote]
