I just finished watching ¨Playing For Keeps¨ and it got me thinking how important it is for a child to grow up with a father. Indeed this film was quite moving. It´s very unlikely though ,that somebody who has already got divorced gets back their family after three years. Ever since the kid gets christened, they need their dad right beside them. Why is it that important you may ask?. Well, let me tell you about my personal experience. My parents got divorced when I was 16. Though both my folks were very supportive, which made the misfortune less tough for me. Of course I´m not gonna budge an inch on my opinion. Not having your pops around, even when you´re a teen, is hard. It seems to be quite a trend however to see couples getting divorced these days. Their children are the ones affected, and they can´t do anything to change the situation. Some just try to block out the past.  Not reminding themselves about the fact that they barely see their offspring on a regular basis. It gets worse nevertheless. Sometimes when you try to forget the past, it hunts you. Especially when you´ve done something you´ve seriously regretted. Conversely, many teens even put on a confident manner not to worry their parents. No matter how used to somebody is not to having their dad around. Whether it´s due to a divorce, decease, or even abandonment. The feeling one gets inside is almost the same in most of these unfortunate situations. Lastly, I´d say that at times we don´t even realize how wonderful those moments we spend with our dads are. Be grateful for each one of them.
