Quote by Tom Hooper
When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea that experiencing the absence or loss of a parent can have a significant impact on someone's ability to fulfill their role as a parent. The mother acknowledges that the speaker's father may have had difficulties in adapting to fatherhood because he didn't have the guidance and role model that comes with having a father present in his own life. It suggests that personal experiences and past traumas can influence one's parenting capabilities and emphasizes the importance of understanding someone's background when considering their parenting skills.
