My best friend asked me the other day;
Would you have rather had your parents divorced or have this happen?
It wasn't the first time I asked myself this so I knew my answer.
"I would rather my parents gotten divorced."
She asked me if she thought that would be better for me.
My next response was, "I don't care - even if he just left us. He would still be alive.
Some parts of me believed for years that he was still alive, actually.
That he was just in England or someplace magical.
But I knew that he wasn't at some point - because my father wouldn't just ditch us."
In that moment, I think I saw her a little sad.
Sadness because she knew I was being sincere.

When I was young, I used to believe that the reason me and my mother were alone was because he was an amazing and incredible man. I though the same thing as you, that he was somewhere doing something amazing and helping people. But when reality kicked in when I was a little older, I realized he wasn't there because he didn't want me. But my mother got married to a man I consider to be my father, and I did finally meet my biological one. But, he's just odd... and that's all I can really say about him. Idk why I left this long comment, but I just felt a little something upon reading this quote.
