I don't think there is any specific book for it, but Linkin Park and later stoicism helped me cope. I have a son now and I am doing my best to be there for him.

I've had exactly the same op. Don't listen to these faggots; growing up without any masculine influence for a boy is a dreadful sentence which he shall carry for the rest of his life.

What about books for guys for whom all the male members of their family were either abusive or inept and only the female members of the family actually were actually decent?

My dad basically just tried to teach me that violence was a noble and honourable thing and basically kept shitting on me for not being “manly” enough. Then he sexually assaulted me as a teen. I’m convinced he had some kind of undiagnosed mental health issue. All his gaslighting mentally scarred me.

Jocko Willink and Jordan Peterson, unironically. Lift weights and train boxing. Get in tune with your natural aggression; it's not a bad thing. Go into nature. Get away from the feminine influence in your life as much as is possible. Look for strong male virtual role models in books and movies and sports heroes. John Wayne, Clint Eastwood.
I know it's hard, OP, but it's not impossible. You can do it. You've got this.

>> No.19248928

can't recommend books for this one. a father is supposed to be the ideal man for every boy to strive to become. you may not have a personal father figure to guide you into becoming like him, but there are were plenty of men who have left records of what it was to be a man of higher consciousness.
Stuff like hitler's speeches and mein kampf is a good place to start.
