Growing Up Without a Father: My Struggles with Authority and Bitterness

I dislike it when people mention their fathers. It bothers me when my friends say things like ‘I’ll ask my dad’ or ‘My dad thinks.’ I resent it because I’ve never experienced fatherly love, and I struggle with taking orders from men because I feel like they have no right to do so. All of this has made me bitter, and unfortunately, I can do nothing about it.
