2020 has been the best thing to happen to introverts and parents who get alienated from their children, if they used it as an opportunity

Over the coming months and years, Americans and other western cultures will come to the realization that marriage was a façade and not in sync with our biology long-term

I believe that when marriages do work, it’s because both people love themselves, before-hand, so it’s easier to love someone else, which is probably why I lasted so long

If you’re looking for esteem or ‘your place in the world’, you’re not going to find it binding yourself to a marriage contract with a partner

My mom and dad did the best they could from what circumstances they were brought up in. Of course, it took many years for me to understand this. I spent countless years bonding with my children and helicoptering them with knowledge, love, discipline, and fun, equal in proportion

It was childish of me to believe that I was lacking in some of those areas, and striving to be ‘the best parent’ ever. It wasn’t difficult for me to embarrass my kids at the arcade or when their friends were over by being twelve again and getting on their level of fun

So was it the chicken or the egg?

Did my overzealous parenting cause animosity and resentment towards my ex by her lack of spending quality time with them compared to mine? Is she currently in over her head and can’t speak up? Is she doing this to me and them for her power and control, or lack thereof?

Parent alienation is real and hurts children psychologically. Family court confuses them to believe the loving and hands-on parent is the enemy. The children, in turn, grow up and date believing real love and affection are to be shunned, therefore dooming them to be prone to unhealthy relationships- perfect for the revolving court system

I’m here the good guys, trying to do the right thing, while spreading knowledge and to give hope. If calling out bad behavior is on the menu; Do it, no better time during this transition, it’s 202(1)
