I know some guys like that, and all of them grew up without their biological father in the household. Anyone else notice this pattern?

Could modern families (with step fathers, or without any father) contributed to men failing to become independant?

From anecdotal experience my father abandoned us I used to be a NEET in my late teen years. (but I also used to and still live in a very dangerous place, where I could regularly see people being killed or botched, something that could have contributed to me staying home)

What saved me was that I had a big interest on computers and learned at the time to do basic stuff like toying around with php (when it used to be big) and html.

One day on going through the neighborhood park I met a guy who told me he was a software developer and his company was looking for inexperienced people in exchange for the minimum wage and so my story as a developer (although I'm a very SUBPAR one) started

for whatever it's worth, my bio dad has been super hard on me, but it did push me to into going all out in terms of starting a career albeit at much psychological pain. was it worth it? i dont know maybe few years of pain for life long career.
