Give her a break. /sarc She’s taking out the hatred she has for her ex-husband on the offspring he made with her. So what else is new?
I think your happy meal must have been drugged.
So true, Fabian! You’ve reminded me to catch Roy Masters again.. Been too long since I’ve listened to him. Keep speeding the Truth! :)
But I don't think it can be blamed on the father, absent or not. I have seen this type of behavior in intact families. Mothers should not psychologically abuse their kids. Period.

Had your mother taught her children to punctuate, life would be much easier on your readers.
So sad to hear stories like this. What a sad world it can be.
Recently, a boy that grew up in the house next door to us hung himself. He was a decent kid but had the same mother you describe in your story and a missing father.
From as far back as I can remember, I would hear her screaming at her kids, calling them the most despicable names and spewing the most vile insults at them I’ve ever heard in my life.
Her other son is in jail and her daughter got pregnant at 13.
Your article was right on the money! It’s about time somebody addressed the issue of lack of man doing HIS job!
I was once that single mother, carrying a burden that wasn’t mine alone, but was dumped on me, along with having to try and provide, make ends meet, and be everything a child desires in a mom. I failed in many ways, and succeeded in others. But no matter what, it was overwhelming for all of us.
I wasn’t one who had multiple boyfriends with kids from each. I was a married woman, and all of my children were the offspring of my husband and I. I expected my husband to do his part, but he saw his part of being king of the house as having plenty of drink, a harem, and a fist in my face whenever the mood struck. A year after leaving him, he was shot and killed during the commission of trying to injure somebody else. He was killed by a gun toting woman.
Sometimes justice happens.
The only problem I had with your article was lack of paragraph breaks which made it difficult to read, on screen.
I’m glad you gave the lady a tool she could use, and I hope she uses it. She can use all the help she can get, and so does her child. Chances are, she loves the child very much and in her own warped way, is trying to teach him about what he should become. But she doesn’t know, that the teaching happens at home so that when you take them out the door, it’s habit to behave in a certain manner.
There’s a LOT of pain out there in that world.
Get a grip.
well and wisely said. i’ve had many the same thoughts. your article has the feel of someone who understands His word.
the point is that God himself created and ordained men in his image in His intended role and with His intended purpose to create and lead families. He endowed men with some of His male leadership qualities and intended them to be exercised under His strict direction. a man cannot lead successfully without God’s instruction, without being humbled to His purpose, and without the complementary qualities of his helpmeet, woman.
and make no mistake, humanity cannot succeed in God’s terms without good leadership. it seems to me that for the survival of God’s people, the family must survive and prosper. and for the family to survive, men must lead as God intended, adding his leadership to the obvious essential qualities of women to create the institutions and mechanisms of the civil society necessary for children to thrive.
may God bless you and yours.
About 20 years ago, I was in a restaurant with my 2 young children. At a table next to us was a mother with 3 very young children, she was constantly yelling at them, smacking them, they had “dead eyes”, flat affect in psych terms. I smiled at the oldest one. He tried to smile back.
I still think about that little boy.
Sometimes when children or young people are badly abused, they later develop into highly respectable adults. Because they suffered from evil, have an understanding of its uselessness and turn against it.
"No, compact and single space is fine, thanks".
I’m not a Biblical scholar but I remember reading: ‘Hate the father, destroy the child’
So, would you say that Rush Limbaugh who has for years talked about “Feminazis’ is a misogynist?
I think a lot of conservatives might have a problem with such a broad generalization.
Time to get your ENTER key fixed.
“But the blame lies squarely on Adam, or did, just as it does now with men for the women taking too much control of many societies. So don’t go blaming women for “taking over, and control” in many places of power. Rather, blame the men for opening those doors with your own ego and inflated sexual needs as the true reasons for our failing nation!”
In recent years the trend in many Christian
Churches is for women to become “Pastors or Preachers” despite a clear Biblical injunction against that: (The Apostle Paul: “I suffer not a women to teach or have authority over men”)
Clearly, God has ordained certain roles for men and women. I have met women who are dissatisfied with that and, apparently, it has little to do with “ego and the inflated sexual needs of a man”. It looks like such women are dissatisfied with their God ordained role and envious of men. They are not satisified with being mothers and raising children but seek positions of “power” like being a Minister.
They says things like “God uses women too”. And if you point out Paul’s injunction against women preachers they will say Paul was a victim of this times and culture, and not an inspired Preacher.
I guess what I am saying is that there is more to the equation than what you are pointing out. All women are not alike,just as all men are not alike.
Spare me the broad brush of your Oprah Channel harangues.
So this all started when Adam said “Stand back Eve; I don’t know how big this thing will get”?
