Guilty Parent Of Divorce. Guilty Single Parent.

Branding these letters on the foreheads of guilty parents dealing with toxic Xs and manipulative little shit children might save future generations of Sparents from lives of pure hell.

Coddling kids is never a good idea in any circumstance IMHO. Raising them to be people of character and substance can not be done if the kids are coddled and raised within an aura of guilt.

The forehead branding concept was suggested in another thread.

Maybe we should consider developing a S-Talk program complete with a card for the Certified Guilt Fee Single Parent. People considering a long term relationship with a single parent can ask to see the CGFP card before accepting a date or asking for a date with a single parent.

Single parents should have either the forehead brand or the CGFP card so that their status of acceptability can be easily ascertained by potential partners.

Any thoughts?

Best regards,

Exactly! I am single and I have several new additions to my "must have" list now. The next time, if there is one, I will watch and see how the man deals with any kids, ex wife, family, and what he expects from his children regarding how they speak to other adults.

A guy can be a wonderful, loving man (like my exbf) but being an excellent man isn't enough to compensate for guilt parenting and a shit situation.

Not sure a tattoo is necessary, lol. Maybe all we need is to be honest with ourselves and see things for how they really are vs. how we wish they were BEFORE we get seriously involved, live together, get married, or have children with someone who has a bad situation...I know I consciously overlooked GIANT red flags in the name of love, but love just isn't enough...

There is a new SD on here with a new blog Rags, with zero biokids of his own.

I don't know, I think if I was with a man that didn't have kids there might be some sort of gap of understanding between us...that being said, I would weigh the man's situation with his kids and ex as heavily as I weigh the character of the man himself.

I wouldn't say no to a man with kids or no kids but my threshold for drama, dysfunction, and helplessness is extremely low...
