A coward disowns their own. The reasons are actually excuses.
Family talk it through, cowards give up on their own.
Your shouldn’t be able to be annoyed so much by your child that you disown them. That’s not being a parent. That is being a coward.
Being a parent is a courageous and wonderful committent full of challenges and rewards.
People go through life and make pals and lose them. Sometimes it’s an upset, one relocates perhaps some bad feeling about money or something minor, missing a bday party type stuff but people fall out all the time and go their own ways.
A parent to child is different. Only one of them out of the parent and child is responsible for the others existence. Children don’t ask to be born.
Whether a child is born into a happy marriage or from an ‘accident’ with a partner or from a one night stand should not effect the parents relationship with their child.
And consider your child might be born with a disability… So does that mean they should be left on the doorstep of an orphanage?
Your a cold hearted fucker if that’s your attitude to parenting.
A parent/child relationship is the only one that will ever truly be until death do we part.
I once had a sibling try convince me that if my wain ended up as a heroin addict I should dissconnect from them as I would have to in order to protect myself from them.
My come back shocked her. I said if my kid ended up in that state I’d move in with them until the situation is fixed. For me it would become a reason to do more not and excuse to do less as a parent.
Parents who say “If you don’t do such and such then I’m cutting you off” are not parents they are control freaks.
Once you have children your only purpose in life is to be a good memory for them.
That’s your legacy.
