Look, I see your point because I've been a leader of sorts to kids my whole life (and am myself a single father btw).
But it's one thing to be standing outside of a situation looking in and saying all kinds of stuff on how things *should* be. It's something completely different to walk that path yourself and know what it's like.
How easy it is to stand outside and cast judgement on people for the decisions they make when we don't have to live with those decisions ourselves.
I really don't get the vibe that Steve is just going to up and abandon his kids, so I think most of what you are saying here doesn't really apply. |
So one can only have an opinion if they've experienced the situation from a certain side only? Well, how about
:
you can't know what divorce does to a child until you've been a child who's lived through their parent's divorce?
FWIW, I said in my first post I wasn't addressing Steve's situation as I don't know how they will handle things, I quoted the post I was writing in reply to aswell so if anything, I was casting judgement on the tone of that post.
