Ignorance.

Men often take for granted what our capabilities are. Sometimes I feel Women take Men for granted, although I don't understand this, they do. I've seen this just happen, a woman had a child about 17 1/2 years ago, knew who the father was, where he worked, lived, his family, and everything. She waited, waited, and waited, to make sure the security of her daughter was set? How could she not know how ignorant she is? Selfishness?
Now, how could he, knowing he wasn't in his daughters life, never knowing who she really is, not try to be there? Could the relationship between the two so-called grown ups cause turmoil for all involved? I mean the unknowing would've been destroyed, or maybe even gotten a chance to have grown up around the other. I just don't understand how one as a man, not be there for his child. Should I say, "The well-being of the child should at least be somewhat secured. Have both parents in the life." I beileve the child should be able to make that choice for themselves, and not have the choice made for them.

The child: 17 1/2 years old, pregnant, high school drop out. She lives in the ghetto with her family. If he would've been there, would her life be any different?

God I feel the pain that her child will endure living the life she will bring this child in. Do you blame her for the choices that she has made in her life? Somewhat a Tyrant. Does she deserve more than what was brought into her life? Talk about needing some type of reform! Damn, I can see where this is going. Why would she want this for herself? I know children are blessings, but what if GOD needs to allow her journey to go a little longer. Let her live life. Maybe this is her blessing, a kind of reform, change. I hope it is.

I feel for her, she says, "I can do this by myself. All I need is me and my mom, to help me take care of this baby. I can be on welfare and get SSI checks, and be alright."

Ignorance.
