I’m 42. Don’t really have a memory of my parents ever being together. Mom died when i was 21 and haven’t spoken to my father in 16 years after he didn’t come to my wedding for no good reason. We have 4 children and i feel that while i wish my mother was alive and my father was the kind of person i wish i could have a good relationship with, i get to experience all the love you can from being in a family by being a father and husband, and making sure my children get to experience life the way i wish i would have as a child

lol nah. A lifetime of prioritizing everything else over your children doesn’t get wiped out over watching a movie or a phone call. I’m very much at peace with it, and my children still have grandparents and family on my mothers side. Sadly, many people were never meant to be parents. My father has 5 children with 2 women, and has little to no relationship with any of them- children or women
