Serious question.. I'm a lesbian. And of course I want to have children with my future wife. I'm not sure the right way to word this.. but is missing out on a male influence going to affect my future children? I know alot of people say that having a father figure is super important in a child's life. I didn't really have a father figure and I had some issues but not enough to affect me a whole bunch.. does anyone have children or experience/and or opinions in this situation that could give me some insight? I really hope this doesn't sound rude or anything!
