"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."
Matthew 18:6
What changed me was watching my dad beg my mom not to leave after 14 years of marriage, and said she never really loved him. only to find out there was already someone else.
Months after they separated, he admitted he had known for a long time that there was another person. He just stayed quiet because he didn’t want our family to break apart.
One night he said, “If I didn’t have children, I would’ve ended my life already.”
That sentence never left me.
And yet somebody would still easily tell us “That’s still your mom.”
Fuck that.
