His Own Dad Left Him When He Was Young, And Now He Uses YouTube To Help Others Without Fathers

Families come in all shapes and sizes. Someone can grow up with two mothers, just one mother, or two fathers. Or, maybe they’re being raised by their grandparents since their family members are in the military. Single parents really have it rough, whether it’s a single mom or dad. While moms can often provide comfort and support, sometimes children ask their fathers serious questions about life. Especially little boys.

The YouTube channel, titled “Dad, how do I?” was created by a man named Rob. Rob’s father left him when he was just a young boy, and he ended up being raised by his older brother, who was a newlywed at the time. Rob’s mother initially planned on raising a large family close to her hometown in Kansas, emulating a childhood she used to have. But her husband, Rob’s dad, insisted that they lived elsewhere. It was a lot of pressure for the family.

“By the time I got to be 10, 11, 12, you could definitely tell there was some dysfunction going on,” Rob said in an interview with Shattered Magazine. “We used to have even boxes in our downstairs because my mom never really unpacked. I think my mom wanted to get back to Kansas. I think that really took a toll on her.”
