With Father's Day quickly approaching I know that many of my single and some married mother Facebook friends may have a few stones to throw at their children's fathers. Some may even want to be recognized on that day as well.
I have something to tell you and it's not a secret. We can not replace the men that we chose to be the fathers of our children. Bashing them and name calling especially in front of our children does nothing more than merely highlight our own hurt, selfishness, pity, or hatred towards him. No child needs to hear that their father is no good, doesn't care, etc etc if he is, the child was eventually find out on their own.
Have I spoken against and about my kids dad to them you ask? Heck yeah, I have. But in order to show my children just what God's love actually means, I have to STOP! Is that an easy road to walk, OMG no. It's so easy to remember the hurt that our children's fathers have put us through, the wrongs they've done in the relationship while we forget our own.
I'm not saying be friends with him but at least give him that same respect that you seek as being a parent to your children as well.
