Last night I watched Rick Warren on a late night talk show. Mr. Warren is the man who recently lost his son to suicide.

He said that there had been a lot of people who had tried to make money off of his son’s death. That is some kind of sick if you ask me.

Then he said something that at first angered me but then caused me to think. He said that the reason why kids are messed up today is because they lack a Dad in the family.

Then he said, “Well it didn’t actually have to be a dad but at least a responsible adult as a role model, like a coach or something.

He didn’t mention the significance of a mother at all. The mom’s I know who are single mothers, including me, have been totally dedicated to raising amazing children with or without the dad present.

If my ex had stayed in the family my children would have witnessed him emotionally, verbally, psychologically and physically abusing me. That would have made such a positive impact on them. NOT!

I am glad my ex left because with him gone I could have a peaceful home, instead of one where everyone would have to walk on egg shells due to his temper.

Rick also did not mention the fact that most men who leave the family do not pay the proper amount of child support which adds a great amount of financial stress to the mother.

I felt as if he completely dissed single mothers.

If putting the dad’s back in homes could solve all of the problems we have in society I have got a beach front home to sell you in the Sahara desert.
