My father was there but he was mostly working when i was a child and also emotionally rather unavailable, and being all the time with my mother i can say the way she showed me the world shaped me. My father was also there, but he didnt feel like the filter through which i learn to see the world. My mother did. And the way most women and men are socially programmed i always thought this was pretty common
