America is really on a roll! Conversations in recent weeks have focused of how women are now choosing in increasing numbers to give up on searching for “Mr. Right” and get themselves inseminated instead. As a therapist, I have had the opportunity to work with some of those very “unfortunate children” over the years, some of whom would just like the answer to one simple question, “Who is my daddy?” Strangely, a mother’s crappy answer like “I wanted to love you so much that I decided to raise you without a father,” can be one of the worst things one could ever say to a child who wants to understand himself/herself and has no way of knowing anything about the other 50% of who he or she is. While it is true that many women have made significant strides in various areas of our society, it is equally true that some are selfish and backward-thinking in some some areas. Getting inseminated or using sex toys as men substitutes might satisfy certain needs for some women who are short-sighted and probably even abusive, especially to their offspring. Furthermore, regardless of all the positions formerly occupied by men that women now find creative means to fill. There will always be at least one gap in this world that only a man can fill. What do you think!
According to many children; one of the worst times that they encountered throughout the entire divorce process, was when they had to deal with a step-parent. You, the parent, might have known that the marriage was not going well for years. In fact, the “d” word might have been thrown around so much, that when it finally arrived, you welcomed it with open arms and you were already prepared to move on. For your children, however, even though things might have been rocky for years, they had grown accustomed to both parents still being there, and they expected that they would continue to stay together, even though they would fight from time to time. For them, when the divorce finally comes, it often hits them with volcanic strength, and they need time to process it and to heal. They did not bargain for that. Hence, parents should remember that even though they might be ready for a new relationship, and they probably even started one even before the divorce was final, children will need time before they are ready to be introduced to someone new, someone, who they will probably view as the substitute for their other parent. If you want them to heal well and to be supportive, you should wait…wait as long as possible and help your kids heal before you bring someone new to their lives. You owe it to them.
