I Wish My Single Father Taught Me About Heartbreak
, I was aware of what was to happen. Yes, biology lessons taught me the science behind it all, but my friends were the ones who delivered personal accounts of what it felt like to menstruate for the first time.
My first sexual experience followed a similar fashion to starting my period. It was prologued by stories of friends who had popped their cherry before me, and then an epilogue of mostly blank pages and silence as I didn’t know how to talk about such intimate experiences. At this point in life, I sought out acceptance and a sense of mothering from the men whom I dated.
In retrospect — reminiscing from a healed version of myself — the experience of being raised by a single father has made me who I am today. Whilst he didn’t know how to teach me about periods, sex, and heartbreak because of his own discomfort, he taught me many other lessons that I continuously use in my adult life. But truthfully, I would hate to relive my adolescent years and early twenties. Another round of the emotionally turbulent and perpetually broken trenches? No thanks.
