I can tell you for a "fact" V that you are "not" the only young man that struggles because a "father" honestly didn't know how to be a "father" and connect with his son. This is a big problem and there are "sooo many" young boys that end up "really struggling because of this" and most of them "abuse self and others and even hide out in some way".

You can be one of them, or, you can stand in front of everyone, show your scars and talk about what results from the way fathers do not know how to be fathers to their sons.

Right now I have a nephew that has Autism/Asbergers and his father came from a very disfunctional family himself. His father is at a point where he has become abusive to his family and himself. This boy knows that daddy is not good, but he doesn't understand "why" and every night this boy and his older sister sleep with mother because they are afraid their father will hurt their mother. The father is "not" getting help, and the mother wants to find a way to get away from him.

The father is only getting worse and even drinks and is "not" getting any help and this is a bad situation for the children. This happens alot, and it always "scars" the children in ways we often do not see. I would not be surprised if this young boy, ends up having similar problems that you are having.

We have not been showing "society" the voice of the damaged children that is taking place. It is time for these people like you to have a voice, but not in the way they have been talking which often is expressed in "violence".

You "can" choose to have a voice V, but a positive voice. We are obviously not paying attention if we continue to have so many that suffer. Both in the "fathers" and in the son's they hurt out of "ignorance".
