"I Ached Every Day For A Father"

Re: "I Ached Every Day For A Father"

So because she turned out to be so well-rounded and learned so much from the gay community, she believes that a traditional family structure is preferable? I think she is proof that it can work both ways.

She makes clear what her motivation is....she missed not having a daddy.

I don't think anyone is saying it can't work other ways, only that having a loving mother AND father is best. Since that is God's plan as well, I am surprised if you don't agree.

I missed not having more toys to play with. I missed having 3 meals a day. I missed having shoes that fit. I could go on - but I'm saying that it's always easy for folks to focus on the things that we "missed" in life instead of looking at the blessings around us.

So you aren't going to admit that having a loving mother and father is the best family structure?

No, and as others have said, in some situations, it's not best.

So the Bible is wrong?

No, humans are.

No, truth.

Wow, I know how she feels not having a daddy. She says he wasn't that great of a guy. She doesn't say she has tried to connect with him since she grew up. He might actually have been pushed out of the picture by the women who raised her. There is so much more to that part of the story. While there are some men/boys that can't be great dads, I think there are a lot more that can. I think they get pushed out of the picture by the mom, and whatever other parties may become involved.
I can't listen to songs about daddies, and their little girls, because even as an old lady that girl still hurts.
I was slightly jealous of my daughter when she got married. Because she had her daddy to walk her down the aisle and to have that father daughter dance. I thank God that she did have him. But there was a little sadness as well. I hope that makes sense.
I was asked once why I couldn't give all of myself to a relationship. It took some soul searching to realize that it was because way down deep I just knew that all males leave. I also felt that I was unlovable. Now don't misunderstand my mom, and my older sister, and brothers did the best they could, but they weren't daddy.

I've dealt with that, too, because my parents divorced when I was 8. I got the pleasure of watching my dad pack his bags and leave. I'm so sorry, gogaters. :hug

And sometimes, you have a father present that shouldn't be. And, you have kids who flourish in an environment where they are nurtured by two moms (or two dads).

Flourish in what way?

As bad as things were at the time that my dad left us. It was before he came to know Jesus. He was saved shortly after mom divorced him, and he's remained in our lives without fail. In fact, I went to live with him when I was 12 (that's the nicest way to put it...as it was really my mom that threw me out, and he took me in), and I still developed "all men leave" issues (in spite of living with him more than I lived with mom in all my minor years).

No one has said there aren't exceptions. But even statistics support a two-parent traditional household.
