Meaning
This reads as an account of being shaped by male guidance outside the home, through mentors and coaches who filled in a missing role. It can be taken to mean that identity and resilience can be formed by several people across life, not only by one parent. It lands when someone is reflecting on who taught them how to grow up and carry themselves.
