Oh dont get me started on the last couple of generations.....but then I find it all very sad because so many of them are "lost" and they have no security from a very young age. I have actually studied this towards a sociology degree that I abandoned a couple of years ago.
There are now up 2 or 3 generations of kids where there hasnt been a stable man in their life. Not only that but children are born with a mum and dad, they NEED that security of both parents unconditional love. But something happens, dad moves on starts new family, mum moves on starts new family.....that is what I mean by lost......no nuclear family security. They are survivors looking out for themselves first, because even though their parents may love them, and this I dont deny, in alot of the cases mum and dad are looking after new families as well or putting the needs of the current partner first because they want their personal security and to be loved. And please dont jump on me for this, but I am sure there are alot of people that love their step or partners children as their own bit there is a huge percentage that dont. I am ashamed to say, I have experienced this personally. Most damaging, in this modern society there is too much relationship jumping amongst adults who have children................no wonder they are lost....
It looks like this was happening here.....although brittany had a family that were very supportive, if you look into the dynamics of it, there were alot of steps and half brothers and sisters and photos of kids that were the parents partners kids... it looks like stepmum was close for a while but she hadnt been with Brittany's dad for ages and in fact had just split from a guy who also had children. It must be so confusing for these kids.
Marriages and relationships are breaking down more often....I have a family full of divorced folk/single mums etc...............but I wish more people would slow down when it came to having a man/woman in their life and really stop and think of all the consequences, especially when it comes to their kids. I take my hat of the ones that do..
I was saddened when I read that he said that she didnt have a phone because she bought "family things" and wanted family photos etc. It is obvious this girl wanted to make a family........they had been living together for 2 1/2 months!!! He already had a child as well, but was already getting cold feet and wanted out. I am wondering if the girl was the mother of his 2 year old............if not, then sheesh, So so so sad........
and won't let anyone post otherwise.
