    Believe me, those are less damaging to a kid than a father who never says “I’m proud of you”.

        Dead or absent fathers are a subset of fathers who never say they’re proud of you.

          In my case they are not mutually exclusive… He fucked off to a tax haven (monaco) leaving my mum a penniless.immigrant with 3 kids, however he saw in the news I had won a competition and emailed me saying he is proud.

            I didn’t suggest they’re mutually exclusive. A subset is by definition not exclusive of the superset.
