But Samantha Dear, the two have nothing to do each
other. Maybe their families were screwy, but it had
nothing to do with the fact that they had a father, as
opposed to not having one. I have a father. I have
50 first cousins who all grew up with fathers. We
were all very happy children.
I think your situation with your family proves that,
even though single family households aren't ideal,
with a hard working, dedicated mother (or father) they
can definitely be happy, nourishing places to grow up.
I think the danger comes from looking at our own
situation and try to determine what is ideal by what
has worked for us. It's like my buddy who tried to
interpret what the Bible says about divorce based on
his own experience. Or the person who says cigarettes
don't cause cancer because their 80 year old great
aunt has been smoking for 65 years and is still alive.
Besides, if fathers aren't necessary, my only hope in
life is to be a sperm donor.
