did you grow up with both parents?

Just Mom. My Dad bailed when I was three-years-old and I never saw him or heard from him again. I never thought about it as much as a kid, but as an adult I recognize how much his absence hurt my life and led to a lot of problems I didn't know how to deal with.

Can relate to that.
Mine bailed when I was 9. I have a odd relationship with him now. We text every once in a while. I go see him like once every year two and its always awkward.

Yes, both - although I use the term "grow up" loosely...

I did grow up with both parents, but my dad died this past summer.

Just my mom. Parents split when my brother and I were younger. Dad was absent for a majority of the time though in his years now he likes to think he's always been there lmao.

Likewise, my biological father was in and out of my life and I was always better off without him. Confirmation bias and delusion are pretty common among some people especially parents that don't like owning up to their mistakes.

This. My husband's father is the same way too. We all need some kind of club or something.

I'd join that club. My dad wasn't around and now he guilt trips me for not calling enough. I'm like bitch, you weren't there for YEARS. Lol

I am so lucky I grew up with both parents full of love and care.
