1. Only negatively.

2. I lost my mom when I was 5 , she left and since then I had no maternal figure , now that I have my own family , very often I find myself trying to please my wife and daughter.

3. She couldn’t even pull a 1 plate deadlift. Very disappointing as a mother.

4. Me personally, the way I think and sometimes my actions are slightly on the feminine side

5. I’m really rough around the edges and I’m not in tune with my emotions.

6. I’m constantly afraid that women will abandon me and basically am a pushover because of it.

7. 38 and in therapy after a lifetime of failed relationships.

8. Mothers don’t have to be strong, that’s the father’s role.

9. I learned how to live on survival
