My point was that love does not need to come from a particular parent. Love does have to come from someone around the person. And guess what? Each one of us is around the person. We, who are blessed to know love, to know our value, to know self-respect, are the ones who need to be giving love not just to our family members, but to all members of our extended family. And if you go back in time far enough, you will find that we're all related, we're all family.
What I've written so far is generalized. Of course, your mother had a father--in her grandfather. Obviously, your great-grandfather acted in your grandfather's place.

There is a difference between a mother's love and a father's love. If you read the book I suggested, you will discover that.
