Maybe not in all things, but I have filled the role of father in many ways.

Those of you without experience really have no idea.

I had a single parent. So much for your "you can't talk unless your in my shoes" argument, which sometimes doesn't really matter. The evidence is mounting from the mouth of single parents, that while they fill-in for fatherly duties, they are in no way offering the true paternal influence that children need. This is why divorce wasn't God's plan, but we make it work the best we can, and pray God helps us raise up children in love with Jesus anyway.

That's the point I was trying to make. In some ways, I have been a father to my children but in some ways, it's also impossible. My mother had to do the same thing.

However, the way you see things is quite different when you are a child living it and when you are an adult going through it. I didn't understand the things my mother went through until I went through them myself.
