Wow. Thank you so much for this, really. Obviously I have an invested interest lately. It does kind of boggle my mind when a mother checks out. I mean, it's sad that I'm not as bewildered by the man leaving, but I suppose that's just a combo of the whole "it's more typical for a man to leave" and that presumed extra-closeness between a mother and child thing.
Either way... it's so hard to understand why a parent leaves a child. Even if you don't feel ready for kids... it's your child!!
