....Maybe some people don't understand the responsibility that comes with having children......
Does this apply to men also?
Wonder why a married man was having sex with a single woman?
The really swell thing about these threads is that when you disrupt them with remarks like yours, the replies to are going to keep coming for HOURS, as new people read the threads.
And just think how this next generation will turn out.
I can see that as a possibility. But who knows what the son might have known about the relationship and he might have been considered a threat.
Dear Yellow,
If she were married, what else would you have found fault with?
[I doubt your mother followed followed Oprah's advice and bedded every man that would have her.]
You would be correct, but she did eventually re-marry. So did my father - 4 times! But he never killed anyone!!!
(There was no Oprah in her day and I don't watch Oprah myself. I'm too busy getting my education at freerepublic)
No, per your first post, I was stating that she and other's like her are more likely to make 'bad' choices simply based on who their male role models were. We all tend to go for Dad, even if he was a world class ....nevermind.
Yes, she can LEARN to make better choices, but first it takes identifying that she was making bad choices, and then figuring out why. Some folks do it, others never do. Such is this great journey of life.
At least she did have the children......except for the little girl she was murdered before giving birth to.
I cannot express how sorry for you I am.
I hope someday that you will see what you don't see at present. Take care.
How awful, blaming the victim for getting murdered.
sorry to tell you this, but there are a lot of women out there that made the wrong choice with who is the father of their child. I am one of them, but I am very proud to be the mother of my 7 year old daughter, who is a very happy little girl and has never gone without. Yes, I was a single mom, but I took the liberty and responsibility of my actions and have raised my daughter on my own without government assistance. My family looked after her while I worked. I did not get romantically involved in any relationships until I met my now husband, who loves my daughter as his own. It doesn't matter who the father is, any man can be a father, however it takes someone very special to be a "Daddy" (rant off)
I have never said that this woman deserved to die. My concern is with protecting children. Nothing else matters except that.
Funny you should say that; when my son died, the book that helped me most was a book about how different religions around the world handle death.
This is the second major Tyler-related incident that I have heard about. The first was the Megan Holden/Wal-Mart kidnap-murder a few weeks ago.
All the guy did was make a valid statement - if the woman had followed a more moral lifestyle, she probably wouldn't have let herself get pregnant by the animal who killed her. There is a good reason why our society was originally founded on Christian values and the further we sink from those values, the sicker society gets. I ache for the poor woman and especially for her truly innocent son, but it probably could have been avoided. Surely the man who murdered them is the real culprit, but she cooperated enough to allow the situation by getting pregnant by a man who was not looking for marriage.
I haven't heard it reported she under investigation for neglect or abuse... is that what you are suggesting?
Actully, the going for the dad thing is not true. I have seen far too many women with nice, hard working dads (including family members) who go for the dangerous rebel type guy. There is probably no accounting for exactly why women choose who they choose, however, it wouldn't hurt to push them in the right direction.

It is a shame, indeed. But none of us are immune from making bad judgements in our lives. We have all done things we have regretted.
In light of any bad judgement she mayt have shown, she also made a good judgement-she did not abort the baby.
In all due respect, I would say that if we point out what she did wrong, we should point out what she did right.
I do not know anything about her or her circumstances. She made a bad judgement as far as men were concerned. But she did not choose to be murdered with her son and unborn child.
you did exactly what one should do when they have made a mistake that involves a child. children are a blessing from God. I commend you and wish you the very best. You sound like a great mother!
I know alot of women makes mistakes with their childrens fathers, I just want to stop so many from doing it....then tragedy results.
