If someone is adopted, even as an infant, they may live a completely normal life with a mother and a father, just not their biological mother and father.
Or if the father passed (for whatever reason) and a step father became the father, the child still is raised by a father.
Being raised without the biological father is not the same as fathers not sticking around, which is the problem and should be the focus. Being fatherless means having no father, which doesn’t necessarily need to be biological.
And thankful to the single moms who raised good kids against the odds.
Living without biological father is not the same as being fatherless.
That depends on the family, at least from my experience.
Define these two concepts so I can understand what you are saying.
