Knowing that that "divorce the wife, divorce the child" mentality takes place across all cultures really just makes me very sad. There's no triumph, just disappointment...I experienced this as well, and I absolutely ADORED my father. That break has telegraphed how I have interacted with men my entire life. FATHERS... Your children need u just as much as they need their mothers! 🥺

I don’t know that it’s really that they divorced a child…. I think it’s more that these men don’t know how to be fathers at all. Comfortable with the idea of passively being a father, meaning the child lives with them but they have no real sense of responsibility of consistently rearing a child, apart from paying some bills. And then there’s the other side of the coin, intense shame. Feeling like a failure, … unable and unwilling to answer future questions from their child of why they are not with their mommy. As if kids really care about stuff like that. It’s a made up problem in their own head. Super sad. I’ve watched my dad chase my mom for 25 years. Only able to be around us kids when my mother seemed like she may be giving him another shot. Currently my father will say my mother sabotaged his ability to be a father to us., when she never blocked him from being a parent, she just didn’t want to be in a relationship with him. Imagine that delusion

That sounds so sad, and I am sorry for you. Without knowing you, I do feel that having no time to address the death of your biological father seems like another loss. Unless you know why you never saw nor spoke to your biological father, and it was a conscious decision on his part and/or your part during his lifetime, you may never know why it turned out the way it did. Anyway, I do hope you had time to mourn for and/or address your real father’s illness, and cherish(ed) your time with him. Take care.😌

I'm not saying this applies to you or to America's situations, but in many circumstances the mother keeps the children away from the father on purpose and the children grow up thinking their father is the one who abandoned them. Sometimes the father abandons the family, and sometimes the father is forced out of his children's life.

At the end of the day, her father still chose not to reach out to his children. And she DOES NOT have to “understand” that. At the end of the day, no matter how much he “missed” his children, he still chose not to be present in their lives in ANY capacity. At the end of the day, he gave more energy and attention to his students than his own kids.

Based on her fathers friends own words, it is very likely her father was dealing with mental illness and perhaps even passed because of it. He remembered and loved his kids and seemed like a decent man trying to rebuild his life by sharing knowledge with his community and becoming an educator. Lets not judge so harshly, we don't know how much he was suffering.

My dad died when I was 3. Before that, my dad and his best friend met my mom and her best friend in Spain in the 60's when they were in the Navy together. They both brought their Spanish wives back to the states. Ralph and Maria (my dad's best friend and his wife) ended up settling just a few miles from us. They were unable to have children. This man, Ralph, was a part of my childhood, adolescence and adulthood. For years, I thought this man's interest in me was because, he'd always wanted a son and couldn't have one. It wasn't until years later that i realized that it went much deeper than that. Ralph was honoring his dead friend (my dad) by looking after his son. Sadly, Ralph passed away in February 2022 from Covid. I was devastated. I wish i would've spent more time with him like he wanted the last time i saw him. It's interesting where a random youtube video will take you in your thoughts. This story took me to him. Te extrano tio Ralph. Te quiero mucho. Dios te bendiga.

Sometimes it's better not to know your father after they leave. My dad sent my mom and 5 kids back to Mexico in 1984. His reasoning was to send money to us while we live in Mexico City and within two years he'd move with us in Mexico. The truth is that he had another woman and sent us to Mexico so he could live with the other woman and marry her. My mother, my siblings and I returned to the US in 1985 and my dad never wanted a relationship with his kids after that. We saw him every now and then but he treated us like step kids. When he died of cancer in 2016, I was there months prior to his death just to be there for him. Before he sent us to Mexico he was a good husband and father. I was 12 when he sent us to Mexico so my good memories of him is before I was 12. Those years that he treated us like step kids were hard, especially for me as I was the oldest. I would have prefered not to have seen him again than to be treated like a bad step kid

Notes: 1. You can see the 2008-2023 Pepsi logo on the side of the bodega shown in the town. 2. The vehicle America Ferrera was driving is a Toyota (although the logo is blurred, you can still see it). Japan actually attempted a trade program with Latin America (China is doing something similar), and a lot of people in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa use Japanese vehicles, especially Toyotas, because the vehicles are more reliable and the repairs are easier to perform then most American cars.

How traumatizing for these girls to have their father walk out of his daughters’ lives. I hope he made peace with the Lord before he died but when the friend said “you have to understand…” um no. She doesn’t have to understand anything. He abandoned his daughters but thankfully America was able to reconcile with her past and hopefully forgive him which it looks like she has. I’m on your side America and God Bless you and your sister for coming out the strong adults in all of this. YOU are the heroes.

Funny she doesn’t state what her mother said about his leaving. And how many children did he abandon to be raised by his wife? Of course, his friend knows why he left…He also knows if his friend started/had another wife and family upon repatriating to Honduras. He was young and handsome, so it’s not likely he remained alone.

Who knows what went on between mother and father. The mother may have been vicious and made all sorts of threats unless he didn't leave. You don't know. The fact that she is crying would suggest she feels no anger towards him and might be aware of another side to the story.

What America the little girl wanted to really understand is why he never reached out to her? Could he had reach out to her? Hearing he was successful in his computer business leaves a bitter sweet taste. She will forever feel like a little girl waiting for a call from her dad.

What lovely daughters, he missed out on them. No tears America, you are better off. If he left, it was his problem not yours. When men leave it is usually selfishness.

Idk why do many people want to connect to a parent who abandoned them? Clearly they made their choice. And then why didn’t the friends and family say “ where are your kids”.. make it make sense

He wasnt a father, he left. People crying over parents that didnt make a choice to be there for them is sad. Exploring your background yes being emotional over a man or woman that didnt care enough to stick around no.
