It's not the problem that's the problem, it's how you handle it. A bad situation can be easily resolved with the right decisions. Things may seem bleak when you have no one to turn to, but eventually your parents will leave and you'll be left with just yourself. Yes, a father can make things in your life better, but with the right people around you, it can only get better. As we age, remember that anything you do can be done. Father or no father, everyone has a purpose in life, and discovering it is more important than finding a plea to get yourself out of an affair. “There are no mistakes. The events we bring about to ourselves, however unpleasant they may be, are necessary to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take are necessary to reach the places we choose to go. -Richard
