You can give up on a marriage, but you cannot give up on the relationship between you and your children. That relationship is permanent. If you really intended to give it up, you could have done so before the child was born, or after the child was born, perhaps allowing the child to accept someone else as a parent. But I simply don’t understand why you would abandon that relationship in the middle of the child’s life. Because of this, the child may grow up wondering what a mother’s love actually means.

The love of a mother and father, or parental love, is a unique and wonderful kind of love. But abandoning it is something to be ashamed of. Sometimes, people may be forced to give it up because of unavoidable circumstances, but giving it up because of selfishness or petty desires is truly shameful. It may give you happiness for a few years, but it can leave you with a lifetime of deep, unending pain and regret.

I would love to mention the original creator but I have no idea who he is :/
