#53: They’re Still Your Children…
When it comes to being in a relationship and having children, a certain shift happens from when it might have just been the two of you. Sure, you might have had a dog to keep you both company and to feel like you had some sort of shared responsibility, but nothing really prepares you for the real deal.
Regardless of the context, this is a wildly inappropriate thing for a father to tell his child. We can’t imagine how weird and confusing this must have been for them to hear from their father… Sure, this would be painful for any parent, but surely these kids will remain to be his children regardless of who the parent is?
