No need for the um der
The point here is not about children in abusive households. It may be yours but not mine.
Yes, we all by accident of birth, get born into different parental circumstances, be it abusive parents, single mother, given up for adoption or whatever.
The point of my thread is that a group of 150 Doctors in Australia has come out in support of the concept that "raising children in a family where the parents are a loving heterosexual couple" is the healthiest environment for a child to grow in.
That 150 Doctors would agree on that is a milestone. For two Doctors to come up with the same diagnoses on the one set of symptoms is rare enough but for 150 Doctors to agree on one thing has to be noteworthy to say the least.
The ABC news service thought it was important enough to publish it nationally.
Maybe you had an unhappy childhood myusernam. Let me tell you about mine.
My parents married less than a year before I was born. Don't know how much less but the marriage was in 1949 and I popped out in August 1950.
My father was schizophrenic and my mother an English Rose upon whom he often beat which did not dim her love for him.
From age 6 to 8, I was sent to boarding school in Toowoomba though home was Brisbane. Bit of a tender age for an only child from the city to be going to a school populated mostly by country boys.
Then my father contracted tuberculosis as a result of his war service in New Guinea, had one of his lungs progressively removed a lobe at a time over the next year and as he was recovering he managed to get hold of a scalpel and slash his wrists and died.
Fortunately for me I had the greatest Mum in the world, which I will argue every day of the week and 100 times on Sunday, who was heterosexual and after the appropriate time of mourning found herself another man, whom I love to this day, but who could never take the place of my real father.
Do I wish my real father had not topped himself and was still around today so that I could talk with him though he would be in his 90s???
You better believe it, especially if my Mum was still around too.
Imagine sitting around on a Sunday arvo with a couple of old men or old women and wondering whose dick or fanny you actually came out of. No thanks.
I'll pick a few choice paragraphs from that article.
nah good childhood, good parents for the most part. just saying there are plenty of hetro bad parents.
Of course a loving mother and father is best. But I would imagine good gay parents would also be better than average hetro ones.
I dont know how i feel about gay adoption, But you will never stop lesbos having kids. there are plenty of well adjusted hetro kids brought up by gay parents.
I reckon if if your parents aren't complete cants then you've got a head start, no matter what they do in the bedroom.
One has to ask and answer the question:- If children being raised by adoptive parents, single parents and homosexual parents is sooooo correct, why do sooooo many of those children in later years make extreme efforts to connect with their biological parents?????
Seems to me they don't want to:-
