Really? Then you didn't even read the article.
I tend not to believe people when they say they have three jobs. 8 x 3 = 24 = the number of hours in a day.
My wife ended up single with two kids before I married her because her husband abandoned them so he could sleep with whoever he wanted to and drink like a fish without having to listen to his wife ask him why he was behaving that way. He's since gone through 4 more wives and who knows how many kids.
So, you're the Beta she married to help raise her children. I don't associate with women who chose poorly and want me to pick up the pieces. Some women tend to be attracted to a certain type of man who sleeps around. Yes, I do blame the women for making a poor choice of spouse.
If a woman is widowed, that's one thing. But a woman who is left by her whatever either made a poor choice or behaved so badly, she drove the man away. It doesn't look good for her in either case. However, if she recognizes that she made a mistake, I would overlook it.
He's since gone through 4 more wives and who knows how many kids. I haven't kept track but my wife tells me he's been married 5 times since their divorce.
Too late now, but her talking about her former husband is a warning sign to stay away.
What happened to my wife is a very common occurrence in our nation so I have no problem believing the mother.
Yes, I believe a lot of women do not take responsibility for their choices in life.
My stepdaughter was taken to an abortion clinic in another state, without our permission, by her boyfriend and when they came back he just dropped her off on the sidewalk and drove away.
Like mother, like daughter. But you likely came too late in the game to have an influence over her. The sooner you tell her that her decision to choose that lousy boyfriend caused her the misery she is in, the sooner she might be saved.
You have a very naive position on what our society is like and how much evil goes on.
The stories you've shared are pleasant compared to what I've seen.
To blame the victim is to twice victimize that person.
Your wife is not a victim. She chose her first husband and also chose to have children with him. She chose a husband who would leave her. She needs to take responsibility for her choices.
Your daughter chose a boyfriend. And she chose to have sex with him and get pregnant by him. Your wife chose not to supervise her daughter and participate in her life. They are not victims.
Victims don't choose their fate.
You tell me that I'm naive, yet your step daughter seems to think that everyone is good and evil doesn't exist. You can't see that it is possible your step daughter is not Christian. You can't see that it is possible your wife is using you. I know plenty about evil.
your case it's thrice victimizing the victim: 1. the children's father victimized both her and the kids.
Don't fall for the left's victim culture. I'm not sure what happened between the father and the mother, but I'm pretty sure it was consensual and relatively sure it was outside of marriage. Both the father and the mother share responsibility for their bad choice. The situation may not be optimal for the child, but If I had the choice between this and being born in North Korea, I'd choose the former. So, I don't see how he was victimized by his birth.
Low birth does not make you a victim.
2. The school victimized her and her kids.
This is ludicrous. The school was free and provided at a cost which she'll never repay in taxes unless she wins the lottery. She was allowed to vote and choose the representatives who would run the school for her free of charge. She was allowed to protest at the school. She was allowed to contact the school and her teachers. She was allowed to demand all information about her son. Two things.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Receiving a "lousy" gift does not make you a victim.
3. You victimize her for blaming the entire situation on her with no evidence.
You sound like the NYT - if someone criticizing you, you're a victim.
Being criticized does not make you a victim.
Hey, your step-daughter can still become a Christian or return to Christ. She won't be able to do so if like Adam, she blames her partner. She chose her boyfriend, she chose to have sex, she chose to get an abortion. She needs to own it.
