RE: SOCIOLOGY: Characteristics of Children with Broken Families and Why They Must be Treated Properly
I come from a broken family myself. My father was engaged to another woman when he got my mother pregnant, and they got married because it was "the right thing to do." I never had a close relationship with my father, and he left my mother several times to be with the woman he was engaged to before before officially divorcing her. I am 28 years old now and have no relationship with my father. Its affected every aspect of my life in ways that I cannot even fathom. Its only been recently that I've been able to overcome the anger that I held. Its very true that a child benefits highly from both parents being in their life, whether they are married or not. Thank you for sharing this topic with our community.
Good thing that you have already overcome your anger towards your father because even so, whatever happens, he still your father. It just sad that he didn't give much value of his parenthood.
What we can do now is to not replicate the unfavorable things done by other. I know that you already have this in your mind that someday when time come that you will have child, you will not be doing what your father did because you dont want your children to experience what you had when your father leave you.
Just leave a happy life and all things will gonna be all right.
I'm not really sure I would call him my father, but rather a person who helped give me life. A father is a person who takes the male role in a child's life, something he failed to accomplish.
I agree that I wish to not replicate his actions, but this is not what I focus on. Instead of focusing on the negative, that which I do NOT want to do, I focus on change for positive growth, that which I DO want to do. I feel that it is important to focus your energies on the positive aspects or you risk replicating the same idea as the psyche tends to miss the words like "not" when telling it to "do not do" something.
I am doing everything I can to level my emotions and create a life full of love and happiness. Its been a rough ride as I've only really know anger, hatred, and fear for so many year. Everyday I thank the universe that I am alive, out of jail, and out of the US military.
I cant argue with you because I have not been there and I dont really know how it feels but for some extent everything happens for a reason, like what you are right now.
You wouldn't be as you are right now if not of the experiences you had.
So you're from the US military?
