a single mom can do it, you don't have to find a strong male influence in a dad or your mom's boyfriend or something.

You can find an older guy you work with or a neighbor who teaches you things and shares his wisdom with you, or some kids i know idolize a star or someone on tv or something like that or a sports hero. A single parent can do it, a kid will find someone else to fill the void one way or another, whether its effective or not varies greatly.

and lesbian moms... ehhhh.....

did anyone see the kid on mtv's true life where the kid was finding out who his real dad was bc his mom"s" were lesbians, that kid was gay as fuck haha
