I was a male single parent. My younger girl is probably older than you… What I did was approach the wife of some friends of mine that had some skills and characteristics that I’d thought about and identified as positive and in common with my (in this case) older daughter’s personality and interests. I asked if she would be willing to actively, proactively provide role model, mentor, and relational roles in her life an an ongoing, weekly basis. The woman asked to think about it and discussed with her husband- and then agreed, thankfully, as I had not a plan “B.” That she was married and she knew me and my character removed the ulterior motive factors that one might imagine could be construed more readily with a single woman AND the fact her “life conflict” was as a married family woman I think gave my daughter the best surrogate female role model I could have engineered. I did the same for my younger- a little more difficult due to her needs and personality but still a strong positive influence was resulting. So that is a pattern you could duplicate in time as it appears that your child’s father isn’t filling or isn’t available to fulfill that vital role. In your case I think it would be better to ask the couple together if ‘John.x’ would be willing to accept that role and run with it. You do need to be quite contemplative before picking a potential couple and be discriminating with who you even consider. I don’t know if you ‘follow’ your posts but I hope you read this. Have a great life!

I was a single parent. You can do it. My two children have done great, but it takes you and the ex mate working together for the children. My son is in his residency to be a doctor and my daughter is an accountant type. ♥️🤘 God bless.

@@fishhuntadventure I have read/heard similar solutions/suggestions, and have considered something along those lines. I think Dr. Peterson was on point when he called out the higher-caution, lower-risk-taking parenting style of mothers compared to fathers. This along with what he called "the broad-scale distrust of male patterns of child and adolescent care that now characterize our society" (27:30), point out precisely why the notion of reaching out in such a manner (seeking surrogate father figures, that is) is not mainstream, even though doing so feels somewhat intuitive. I agree that every child needs both a mother figure and a father figure, and I can never be a father. My personal applications were: 1.Don't let the demands of providing a home and building a future tire me to the point that I passify her with screens. 2.Don't allow the fact that she doesn't have a father tempt me to indulge her out of pity. 3.Don't smother her with over-protection. There was much more to the video, of course, but these were my areas of caution.

Although Mr Jordan P is the father the majority of America needs, maybe the world never had..he's like the smart uncle who smokes cigars in your basement telling you how to improve your life, but you don't listen to reason til it's too late. Then you miss your wise uncle.

@@opinion4755 Despite their fame/infamy, those two individuals are the last people for kids to try to emulate.

@@mikitz and anyone that knows kids, knows they will emulate just about everything they are exposed to, which is why curating their exposures is important. Not eliminating their exposures to adversity or anything else in particular, but actually curating their experience as the process of teaching, to provide a solid foundation for critical thinking and the personal growth of the child. "Sticks and stones may break bones but words will never hurt me" "Don't believe everything you see on TV/internet" "If Timmy jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?" These statements are all lost to history as words (particularly in using "incorrect" pronouns) are becoming illegal, TV & internet edging ever-closer to being entirely curated by government so we don't have to think for ourselves, and you damn well better believe that, if the government told Timmy to jump off that bridge, you best prepare to do the same right behind him/her/it/lamp.

I beg of you to do all you can to raise a healthy well-adjusted child. I personally know way too many divorced parents with kids riddled with all sorts of mental issues. I'm also a product of a broken home and know the struggles of going through such a childhood and having to go through adulthood stuck in perpetual adolescence.

Don't overthink it. They all have different temperaments, what works for one might not work for another, you just need to give them attention and love and hopefully they find their way

Once a child becomes of age they have to take charge. I ran a bar for years and I told many a new adult this is on you and don't blame it all on your parents or lack of. You are now an adult.

@@richardmajor2563 Lockdowns ruined social skills in kids, because the masking hurt their perceptions on faces and probably hesitant to approach anyone.

A major interruption in family structure (divorce) or change in living situation, like having to move frequently, can really destroy that kid's chances at knowing how to properly socialize. It has an effect throughout life, and is never really completely healed. despite years of attempts to 'get help'. It's not just the college age kids of today. It's also their parents generation, who grew up in the 70's, during the great divorce wave. Gen-X has boatloads of "issues", and it has just multiplied over time, now that they are parents and grandparents, the resulting mess is..... well, look at it.... quite depressing. Many see the 80's with fond nostalgia, but the antics of the 80's teens were a dark omen of what was to come. We should have been more concerned when girls stated emulating Madonna wearing her bra on the outside. This has been a snowball rolling down a hill for over 50 years.

@@peterbelanger4094 The issues of broken families isn't discussed enough.

@@AFringedGentian We all can appreciate Longfellow’s beautiful words. Often, we reminisce about our youth and that of our children’s. Perhaps it’s because of happier times or even the hardships we had to endure. Either way, childhood is an important part of one’s life. Most times it predicts the outcome of adult behaviors. As parents we are fortunate to witness the childhoods of our own children and their dreams. As each generation has their own contribution of childhood nostalgia, the lessons learned, the wonderful innocence, the stubborn rebellion, the bruised knees and broken hearts. All the beautiful and perfect mistakes that become our own path, our own journey in life. I often find myself amazed at the simple yet brilliant and beautiful thoughts of the little ones. They are completely honest and innocent. The youth actually rejuvenate my mind and soften my thoughts. Perhaps that’s why they behold the fountain of youth, if only for a time their cup runneth over whether they realize it or not. It is up to the adults to reinforce and reassure a safe and loving environment for the little ones. God bless ✝️🙏🏻🕊

Honestly, I couldn't have said it any better! How fortunate we are to have someone such as Dr. Peterson during such times. He dared to stand up one day and his life changed. And he affected millions of others in many wonderful ways. Im so grateful for him.

He always gives me a feeling of …”oh yeah, that’s right. I already KNEW that.” I think back to history class back when I was fifteen. Europe. The Reformation. The Spanish Armada. The Thirty Years War. Wars of Religion. Martin Luther. I was a good kid, I listened, tried to learn the dates, the exam questions etc etc etc…but there was an important BIT which I never understood. Never understood the WHY or HOW. Like…why and how can people have a thirty years war, much worse than Rwanda, that is about issues like….the Pope, infallible or no…the Eucharist, transubstantited or not, Priest, celibate or not, an Anglican Church or a Methodist Church…salvation by grace or by works…English or Latin Bible…..I just did not get it. HOW could people be killing each other over issues like that? That is why I bought the Marxist bullshit about material determinism…everybody fighting over class issues. I thought that stuff they said they were about …could not be it…could not be what they really cared about. And yet…..the question..what is the metaphysical essence of race and gender…what is the soul…in 2022 that unreal stuff is super real. The culture war is religious war. It is why you cannot reason with these people.
