Father figure

A father figure is someone who helps and supports you just like a dad. You can think of a father figure as a person who is like a dad to you, someone you can look up to and trust. This person can be your actual dad, but it can also be someone else like a grandpa, uncle, or family friend. They can help you with things like homework, fixing something that's broken or just being a shoulder to cry on when something makes you upset. They are like a superhero in your life who will always be there to help and guide you through life's challenges. Having a father figure can make you feel happy, secure and loved in life, just like having a real dad.
