I was devastated when my father abandoned me — yet liberals make excuses for broken homes

A child growing up in a broken home automatically puts them at a disadvantage. Studies across the board show that children of two-parent families have a better chance of success in education, in business . . . in life. Yet too often, society doesn’t do enough to encourage these unions, even saying it doesn’t matter. In his new book, “The Children We Left Behind: How Western Culture Rationalizes Family Separation & Ignores The Pain Of Child Neglect,” Adam B. Coleman explains how this is a terrible mistake of selfishness. An excerpt:
Why didn’t my father love me? Why did my father abandon me?

This really hit home.
I can still feel the “sting” of rejection. And, these and other questions just get suppressed. Maybe I should have been in “therapy”? Even though that was unheard of.
At some point in time, one has to “grow up”, “grow a pair”, or “just accept the cards that life deals you”.
Shut up and move on.
But especially as the “game clock” winds down, the “Shoulda, coulda, and woulda! “ thinking emerges. How would I have been different and how would my life have evolved differently.
Unfortunately, there’s no “time” VCR to remind and rerun / retry life.
“… checked the Eternal Possibilities Machine, which generates all the possibilities for use in creating the alternative worlds. In all those probability lines …” CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 45
I guess every child feels this and maybe that’s why things are this way now.
One of the many many things we’ll never know.
Sigh!
