“The desire to strangle a 19 year old, your very own daughter, and her lover, because they desire sex is utterly depraved.”
Again, I spoke figuratively of strangling a daughter but consider this:
She is having sex out of wedlock. She is leading a less than exemplary life. She is with a guy that objectifies her (Why did she have to steal them, the guy can’t buy them? This occurred in the UK where free condoms are everywhere.) Condoms are not 100%, she contracts disease, she becomes pregnant; a guy you have to steal condoms for is not likely to be a good father or even a decent person. He may be diseased and if he is, it is unlikely that a guy that won’t buy his own condoms will inform you he is diseased.
She was on a bad road filled with bad choices. Certainly, that does not justify killing her but I can see a case for distancing myself from her. She definitely needs a stern talking to at the very least. I can definitely see myself insisting that she distance herself from this guy. No. I do not see myself strangling her.
“She is leading a less than exemplary life..”
Well, it was HER life to lead. She was 19 and employed as a dental hygienist. She DIDN’T want the arranged marriage that good old Dad wanted. I don’t condone a sexual free lifestyle but it was her decision to make. At some point in sane parents lives, there comes a time when their life is their OWN.
That’s pure 100% gold plated bullsqueeze.
She shoplifted and yeah, that was wrong. But the very fact she didn’t walk into the school nurse and brazenly demand them tells me she was probably a sweet little girl, embarrassed as hell, and not one of the current crop of brazen whores.
There is actually a grand cross cultural tradition (possibly excepting Holland) of kids shoplifting condoms because they felt too embarrassed to face a pharmacist.
And how do you know he objectifies her?
Maybe they were a couple feeling in love. For all you know he never even tried anything and she just wanted to be ready because she sensed it was going that way.
And you have him as an objectifying, bad father, impregnating, diseased liarmouth.
But even if you believed all that, there is no case for distancing yourself from her. And anyway, lost likely she was a 19 year old daughter who did nothing more than have a normal sexual feeling for her boyfriend.
I bet she even had good grades in school, and her boyfriend too.
