@Seekthetruth3000 It sounds like you might have some daddy issues. Simply having a dad present in your life does not equal success as an outcome. Having a dad around does not mean that you are a better person than the people who don't. I know plenty of people, 99% of them being white, who have their dads around and are also garbage-humans. I don't believe that anyone can ever be perfect. My dad has been in my life since I was born, and I am not perfect. My dad is, in many ways, imperfect, just as you and your dad are imperfect. My dad is, in many ways, a piece of shit. In some ways, I grew up to mirror my dad's shitty ways. But I realized what a piece of shit my dad is, and I repelled his shitty ways. I struggled to become a more compassionate, more kind, and more caring man than my dad is, or ever was. I still aspire to be an even better man tomorrow than I was today. My dad thinks he is as good as he needs to be. Since no one can ever be perfect, I think we can all continuously self-improve. I want to be a better man. My dad doesn't. Judging by your narrow-sighted point of view, I would venture to make the following guess. Either your dad wasn't around -- and that is what compels the daddy-issues which are semi-apparent in your demeanor -- or your dad was around but he was also a garbage-human piece of shit, which is more apparent in your demeanor. Whether your dad was around or not, it is obvious that he failed you in various ways. It appears as though you need some sort of healing or deliverance. I pray that the Heavenly Father grants you that healing and deliverance, along with a greater attitude of sympathy, empathy, and consideration for others who are less fortunate than you. But you'll have to submit to Him first. You'll have to admit to your imperfections and weaknesses, and then ask Him for that healing and deliverance.
