Dr. Richard Kimble and I will become very good friends today; fugitives from family justice are often heard not seen. I am only speaking metaphorically lest someone take my words literally.
Although I never fathered a child biologically that survived the birthing process, I was caretaker to three young adults for 13 years. I have mixed feelings about my efforts and undertaking the job that another man abandoned for reasons that I will never know. I am also ambivalent about how now they have abandoned me because of my “chosen” behavior. I do know that when the s**t hits the fan in their lives that I would love to be a fly on the wall to witness how their judgmental attitude adheres to their self-righteousness. A bit of sour grapes for sure on my part but how adults take it upon themselves to enter into private business is reprehensible and the only anger I hold is towards them. Conversely, I hold only sympathy and sadness for my wife who is the only victim here, not her children. One day at a time will work and if it doesn’t one minute at a time surely will.
I just wonder who taught these people their values? In 13 year didn't you have ant part in that? Who invited them into your(pl) private life?
ReplyDeletePeople enter others private lives under the guise that they are protecting someone. As if a female that bore three children needs protection. She can and has always fended for herself in situations that her own offspring would have crumbled under and been in a psychiatrists care for. The unmitigated gall that my step son took upon himself is something I might forgive him for one day but I will never forget.
