This is the inevitable result of selfish decisions, which is at the heart of the “liberal” mentality. And who really suffers the most from this liberal mentality? The children of course, the exact same group of people that liberals portend to support with all of their selfish policies.

Daughter defends former submarine captain who told children he was ‘bitterly disappointed’ in them
The daughter of a former submarine captain who told his children he was “bitterly disappointed” in them has defended her father.
Yesterday one of his daughters admitted that she had needed a “kick up the backside”. Emily Crews-Montes, 40, said: “He wouldn’t retract what he said, and nor should he. In no way would I ask him to apologise. Fundamentally, I couldn’t have a great quarrel with what he wrote. I accept it was too harsh. But if you live in France, you’re used to being judged harshly.”
Mrs Crews-Montes now lives in Brittany with her second husband, a French surgeon, and three children aged 18 months, two, and 12.
She said her father’s email did not upset her because she had already begun to turn her life around when she received it in February. She had set up a business and had started translating a French self-help book into English.
“I had already done what he told me to do. I had already given myself a kick up the backside.” She admitted spending “many years underperforming”, partly because her father’s uncompromising stance left her with little self-confidence.
