Someone like you or your sisters?
I don't think so. Here are the parts of your posts in the last few days:
"I've been a single parent and I've been an unhappily married parent, and I know for sure which one is easier.
Though my kids are mostly grown up now (20, 18, 14 and a foster 15 year old), I often used to wish I had a t-shirt that read (shouted) I LOVE BEING A SINGLE PARENT.
Of the three ends I've had, none would have been solved by this scenario.
The first, I was sixteen, in love, and living independently.... (yep, guess I was a single, young unmarried woman). It broke my heart, but I knew that to have a child in those circumstances would be completely irresponsible. That baby's father's stayed by my side - I still hold a special place in my heart for him and the baby.
The second, I was married, going through a rough patch in my marriage, had three children and two step-children already, and living overseas. Again, it would have been totally irresponsible (on the verge of divorce) to bring another child into the world.
The third, I was seperated, physically very ill and on all sorts of medication. I was already having a hard enough time keeping my head above water - there was no way I could care for myself and my existing children if I had another child.
And to think I left my husband because he was a lying abusive cross-dresser. That my sister left her husband because he gambled away everything they had including their house and children's future. That another sister left hers because after 25 years of public intimidation and humiliation, she realised she didn't have to put up with it.
We all know that women have no knowledge of the existence of the custody time percentage scale reflecting the amount of cash they are awarded; thus it is nothing more than a lucky coincidence that they get paid more money to keep dad away from the children.
But your question was about why everyone criticizes. Because it challenges social norms - because it's "not what they did" - people need to validate their own behaviour & their own choices, and they do that by encouraging others to do what they did.
I foster a 15 year old girl who has been desperately trying to locate her biological father. I've been counselling her, saying "you really need to think this through" and "he might not want to know you" and stuff like that.
I guess we really are quite rare and special after all!
There's also these major stereotypes about single mums being welfare recipients and uneducated and so on... I guess some people buy into the stereotypes without really looking any deeper.
And an uncircumcised privates really is *much* better than a circumcised one.
ciao! Cathryn. "
No wonders why you have a partner instead of husband as no normal man would marry you.
It's a worry that Australian courts, police, lawyers and some morons like Riffty or fasnagdh stands firmly behind such kind of wymin and such kind of behaviours.
Keep posting boys !
