Well, thank you for clearing that up. Some of the best children come from the “worst” parents, indeed.
And don’t necessarily underestimate the emotional dynamic that the child imposes on the mother. Children are little miracles that become polluted by the Fallen World.
Thanks again for responding. We have to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions, as variegated as they may be. Still, I think condemning loving parents unilaterally might be a bit outside the lines, particularly at this time.
