Truth Theory recently asked our readers on Facebook to share with us the most valuable life lessons they have learned from their fathers, and there were some fascinating responses.

The majority of comments were positive, with some people sending in some lovely touching posts about the life lessons they had been taught.

Unfortunately, though there is no point in sugar-coating the fact that for a fair number of people, their father was absent or even abusive.
