Man. I'm a single mom. It be like that sometimes.

Not the whole "you need a man around"-thing. It's a single-parent thing. It's hard as fuck to do all the work yourself and not have someone to help out when you may be at your limit.

Not to mention single-parent households deal more with poverty, housing insecurity, poor mental health, overworking, etc.

I watched it happen to a lot of my friends growing up. It's fucking rough.

It's not every case, but it can be a lot.

My father has worked in a different country than the one i live in for longer than i was alive.

I have seen people cry when talking about their divorced parents

Which parent is missing doesnt matter

Are you saying that my experience and the experience of people with a single parent are wrong?

Are you being intentionally dense?

And which orifice did you pass this take from, exactly?

I won't deny that there are elements of a mildly conservative worldview in the post (mentioning the necessity of a "stable male figure"), but you go way overboard with your interpretation. If the post really was in line with such ideas, I wouldn't have posted it here.

Hey look, another person who's bitter with everything around them and feels the need to attempt to shame everyone they see.
