"I don't have a father...."

I will felt pity to the child. That is not his/her fault, it's their parents fault why at his/her age they doesn't have a father or a mother. It's very hard to think, if that was happen in your case. Will you still be a good child to anybody?

Well, I have two children who have no contact any more with their father. When we divorced, he distanced himself more and more over the years and now, the only contact he has is with me, every once in a long while when I update him on how they are doing, etc. I actually think it's ok for a child to say "I don't have a father" because, in their every day life, they really don't. If they don't have a father figure, a step-father, or other male that steps into that role, then it's normal for them to feel they have no father. To correct them and tell them that yes they have a father (because of the biology) may just serve to make them feel even more unwanted, more neglected, more unloved or more "thrown away." Over the years, my daughters have made statements to the effect that they don't have a father any more and I simply allow them to feel what they feel.

I would just feel sad. I really hate men who just impregnate a woman and then leave them.. The one who truly suffers is the child.. A lot of kids are in the same situation.. it would be nice if people would take responsibility for their actions.

That is really pitiful. I would probably say, you might not have a father but you are loved. Most children who grew up with a single parent feel that something is missing and that's because they think that a single parent's love is not enough sometimes. But if the single parent really knows how to make a child feel secure, the child might no longer long for the missing parent.
