My Father passed when I was 16.
Fell into a deep depression
Dropped out of college
Got right into the streets...heavy
The next 10 years taught me the consequences
By the grace of the Creator, I am still here.
I highly doubt the lesson he was trying to teach me with all that is "blame whitey".
Edit.
There are PLENTY of single mothers and fathers that produce excellent results...
High Values can come from single-parent households.
Low Values can come from dual-parent households.
How you start ≠ how you finish.
IJS once we become adults - the authority/accountability is on us.
I didn't follow the values my mother and father raised me to have...once my father passed I was lost...seen both sides and know for a fact it's about choices.
