If that is all true then yes, I think blame should be due towards the father. Do you believe the family's path would have been the same if the father had not left? |
The link says all the trouble happened after the father was gone,
so I say it is hard to blame a man that was not there.
It was the gov that forced the custodial into a trashy housing project.
Now if you / we want to stop or significantly reduce the divorces and separations to try to keep families together then I would be all for that, but it would put us against the gov again by being against the family break-up laws and gov divorces.
Even if the dad was paying the child support or not (the link and song does not say) then the gov takes the child support loot and keeps it for families on welfare, and it is highly doubtful that the man would have paid enough c/s to get that BIG family out of the gov housing project.
So again I am trying to offer a solution instead of blame and smear as the singer is doing.
We need laws and systems that protect and defend the family unit of both parents with their children and stop the immoral gov that violate the family unit and tries to stick it all on the separated parents.
