Can delayed puberty lead to final short stature? i grow up w/ dad only and didn't have a mother care during my growth, can it affect my growth?

Delayed puberty: Can often lead to taller ultimate growth. It is possible that loss of your mother may have affected your growth and development, but there is no way to test for that possibility.

Delayed puberty: If anything delayed puberty should add some height to your stature.Not having a mother may not have had an effect on your growth since it is ubpnder hormonal control.
