I love your point because it's the parental love that matters and not just their presence. I have seen children who have parents in their lives but aren't living as they should.
Their parents see these kids mostly on weekends and it's really affecting them but they don't have a say, their parents excuse was making money to help the kids who are feeling like orphans.
It's the love that matters really and I also agree with the fact that there is always a fatherly or motherly figure somewhere depending on which is missing.
Uhhuh... this is very important. It's just sad that these days, it's hard to trust others with our kids. Hell, even some uncles can't be trusted. And if you can't be present for your own kid, you can't have anyone else who can. Too bad.
