No I did not see that, but there are so many parents just walking off and leaving their children where they will. Yes there are so many single dads who are doing a good job. I only knew this story personally. Far too many parents break up and pull the children like a hugh lump of taffy all their lives to get back at one another. Thanks for your reading and commenting.

You are right. It is not that the family is broken but that the parents are broken. Thanks for reading and commenting.

And don't forget single dads!
Have you seen the story of the 23 year old guy who is raising his drug addicted twin sister's 3 boys? It's an incredible story. They did a piece on him on the Today show this morning.

You are absolutely right! There are many success stories of people from 'broken' homes...I think the problem is not so much with 'broken' homes, but with dysfunctional parents...

justie , thanks for the story
we need to focus more on the good stories and help where we can, because sometimes good families have problems too.

I love the flowers, thanks. You are very right. It is never easy. We don't know what is what until it is over. You know that is when the 'fat lady' sings. I am thankful mine turned out as well as they did. There did a better job being children than I did being a Mom.

That is so true. They keep the family secrets and take the hurt on to the next generation.

Yes I was a single Mother and head of household. Thank goodness the kids grew up healthy, do not do drugs or never have been in trouble. They are good parents themselves and I am proud of them. It was never easy...but then again raising children never is my dear lady!

Hiya:)
Just a note -- many broken families live in apparently tranquil settings, smiles on the outside, church every Sunday, marriage "intact." The kids conceal the chaos and grow up to break their own families.

I agree it is better for one good parent than two fighting all the time. It is ideal for the two adults to work out their differences and make a home for the children they have had together that can not always be don. Thank you for your comment.

I agree with you totally. We often see articles, news lines that hold a child up as a child from a broken home, etc., I think that is not the issue. I too think parenting is the issue. Thanks for your comment.

I'm glad the cycle has not repeated itself. It is better to have only one
parent that is kind and compassionate, than 2 that fight or argue all the time. Great post and I am happy for you.

My mum did a great job on her own. There are plenty that do, plenty that don't. Likewise with the 'unbroken' family. Some bring up the family well. Some make a very bad job of it. It's not down to break-ups, in my opinion, but good or bad parenting.
