“If I were given the opportunity to spend a day with someone in my past, it would be my father who passed away when I was five years old. If my father were here I would be so happy because I was the only daughter and he spoiled me and treated me like a princess. When he passed I went to school and all I was doing is crying. After a week I got kicked out of school because every time I went to school I wasn’t doing my work; all I was thinking about was my father. I miss him so much. I wish he was around to tell me good advice in this world. I make my own decisions and sometimes they are wrong. If my father were here I wouldn’t be working two jobs and going to school at the same time. I always needed a father to talk to me when it comes to boyfriends and men and how I should be treated. “
This comment is heartbreaking. I’m wondering just how many people around me have stories like this one. I’m thankful for having two great parents who raised me and stayed together. Not everyone has that.
If you destroy the family, you destroy the society.
Why?
Because in destroying the family you create unhappy people. People who cannot cope. People who are unable to interact with others. After a while it reaches a tipping point.
I believe that culturally we are almost at that tipping point.
