What characteristics do children lacking paternal love have? They seem independent. In reality, they are fragile, used to shouldering things alone because there is no one to back them up, no way out, no support, no home to escape to, and no one to help them. Therefore, they are not brave enough, not decisive enough, and lack firmness. They hesitate and worry excessively, weighing the pros and cons, and can easily fall prey to others' sweet words. They tend to seek paternal love from the opposite sex and develop illusions, thinking that just a piece of candy can lead them away from the forced independence; collapse can happen at any moment. Many times, they just want to stop trying altogether and let things go to waste. It has already been quite difficult to strive until now, and that should be enough.
