England @crimbo51<br /><br />I have many friends and colleagues who are homosexual and I support their rights to live together. None of these have expressed any intention or desire to raise children. Some of them have children from previous heterosexual marriages, and these children have contact with them, but do not live with them.<br /><br />These couples do however seem to have an emptiness within them that they satisfy by filling their homes and lives with cats and dogs, who they treat as, and refer to, as their children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066465714745281883.post-75650971360096810722015-04-23T12:13:26.238-05:002015-04-23T12:13:26.238-05:00Drusilla, Thank you so much for your comment.

(She was trying to protect me) And that caused me enormous pain, which I had to work out over the decades. However, I was privileged in that his loss was recognized, and I was told he was a good man. I wrote about my pain in the poem: "No death rituals: Miscarriage has no funeral." Besides the lack of funeral for my Dad, I had two miscarriages. And they are in the poem also: http://christsfaithfulwitness.blogspot.com/2014/11/no-death-rituals.html#.VTknF1z0iIm Funerals, sitting by the body, acknowledging our grief is a way to contain it. Otherwise it comes out in other strange ways. I used to have dreams about what I imagined my father's funeral was like. And I saw him coming and going from the grave (in my dreams) especially at the time other loved ones died. I wrote about this in "Cradle for Atheism: Life Without Father"<br />http://christsfaithfulwitness.blogspot.com/2014/01/cradle-for-atheism-life-without-father.html#.VTknv1z0iIk God bless you dear.

He banned any discussion of my family: I was his and must behave as such. The heartbreak and damage was excruciating. Years of work and the grace of God brought healing but I still have difficulty with close relationships.<br /><br />I had thought my experience unique and that the minister was a rare monster. He wasn't. We're surrounded by such monsters now and they are often such nice people. Children need their parents and if for some reason that is possible, they need to be able to acknowledge the loss. To create children who will never have their basic need to love their parents considered, let alone met, is unconscionable. But then that's what selfishness is.Drusilla Barronhttp://lovedasif.comnoreply@blogger.com
