Not an exceptable alternative to diseplined responsibility.

No single male parent can teach his daughter how to be a woman.

No single female parent can teach her son how to be a man.

No children of divorce can teach there children those things that thay have not learned themselves.

(Marriages do not simply work nor do thay simply fail, thay are made to work as thay are made to fail.)

Your numerous spelling errors make me question your intelligence, as does your post.

My H's two parent household couldn't teach him how to be a man.
They did teach him how to Verbally and Emotionally Abuse others, as he was taught at home. And his alcoholic childhood, for which he recieved no counseling, was always enabled by this dysfunctional family.

My xH learned nothing how to be a man from his two parents and supposedly intact family. raised by a cheater and a chronic enabler.

One parent willing to stand for their kids and teach them well is enough.

This woman will indeed teach her son how to be a man...And how to treat a woman with respect...

And my dad definitely helped me grow into the intelligent woman I am today and taught me love.

Nor is mine perfect. Does it make one "intelligent" because one chooses to use a spellchecker? Do you have something constructive to say or do you just enjoy being the critic?

Divorce damages children. I think one would have to be a complete moron not to come to that conclusion. Dysfunctional marriages also damage children. O.K. Now, what is you point?

So what's your point? You have posted 5 times and never replied...

Sure they can. They can't do it by setting an example (well, perhaps in some cases <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> ) but they can show them how to act as a male/female & what to expect from the other sex.

Correct. If you haven't learned something, you can't teach others.

Seems to me you posted this before - because I remember thinking wow - I didn't believe in those statements that you made... Sometimes divorce is not a choice ---- It is just reality - and you do with your children the best that you can !!! No one should be faulted for raising their children in a loving home with or without two parents to the best of their ability....
