As of recently, well..let's just say...within the last 3 months we've had some issues with my "mother" going all psycho...and my father working so many hours to cover the bills, I have stepped up, done cooking for my sis, doing dishes, laundry, cleaning, ect...you name it..and financially as well if need.

I'd say I am a man by what I have done..being a man can not be defined by age.

That's a good start. Sorry you had to go through that.
