Personal experience tells me that even a perfect substitute will not make up for knowing you have an absent parent. For me it was hurtful knowing the person who helped make me didnt want anything to do with me even though I had an AMAZING person to help raise me. It still messes with your head.lmmomSD wrote:Kinda OT-- but this article got shared in the Gardner Quad Squad forum. Sam's sister is mentioned in it. And it says something about her "struggles growing up with an absent father". I know that she and Sam have different dads. And I know a stepfather can't fix the hurt if your real dad abandoned you-- at least not completely. If that's what happened. But Sam's dad seems very loving. He doesn't seem to differentiate between his kids and his stepchildren. And it's not like she had absolutely no male role model in her life. I don't know. Maybe I'm talking out of my hat because I had a loving father. But it just seems like another Kristy drama ploy.
