sorry if I offended you, didnt mean that fathers dont count... by all means I am fighting for my life to get the father of my child back into our lives! All I am saying is that given the life path that Piano doesnt have H around to be a father figure, doesnt mean the child will not be raised to its highest potential. Actually, it doesnt matter if its a mother or father or step parents or even grandparents... children ONLY need love. Constant Love. Some children are raised by complete strangers and are loved and well rounded and have great attributes. And if P's H doesnt want to be a positive role... well unfortunatley for H, it doesnt have to define the child's life in a negative manner. Same stands true for WAW's and so on.
I dont know who sets the standard for fathers... or even mothers... nor what the standard is. I do know one thing... to be a parent or a parental role in a child's life means one thing and one thing only... to sacrifice one self for the well being of a child and to love him/her unconditionally and constantly. truly P's H is being tremendously selfish and not acting like he wants to be involved. I still cant get over the fact that he told P to get a step dad!!!
Piano, hope i didnt upset you... I hope your H was just in a bad mood when he made those comments to you. Like I said in the earlier post... hoping when the baby is born, he thinks twice about moving to Europe.
