I'm just wondering what kind of damage or mental and emotional toll for children (especially daughters) that NEVER met their fathers in their entire life.

I grew up with married loving parents and yet I have "issues". Nung lumaki ako halos wala ako kilalang broken family, much more anak ng single Mom (I guess also because it wasn't allowed in Catholic schools during my time) Siguro it's not so bad as long as the Dad is involved pero sa sa social media, I've read or watched so many cases na NEVER nakilala father nila How's that kaya? Parang hindi buo ang identity mo kasi hindi mo alam where you came from?

I have a relative that never met her father and she was a problematic child. My family talked about her recently na ang sama ng ugali (ingrata at maliciosa). It makes me wonder if being abandoned by her mother and not knowing who her father is contributed to that.
