I'm a single father with daughters. After reading this I've noticed I've done some of these things. I feel bad now

The relationship of codependency is the most toxic. Treating a boy or adolescent as an emotional husband is one of the most destructive things a woman can do. It's not a child's job to dote on his mother like a smitten suitor - but that is exactly what many single mothers attempt to extract from their sons. It's a serious form of abuse, and it's a disgrace that society hasn't done more to intervene and stop this kind of behavior.

This article is drivel; nothing more than the ranting of a bitter person. What little truth can be gleaned from this is purely coincidental, and not an accurate portrayal of all single mothers. Surely, some single mothers are awful for various reasons. Some are spectacular. In general, being a single parent, with no co-parent is really hard.

I thought this sub was better than this. Come on guys, let's bury this trash.

Good read, and I can echo a lot of what's said, given that my eldest son came to live with me after he was a teenager. His mom was very toxic towards him and me, said a lot of things that shouldn't have been said.

Thoughts?

Wow. A lot of spot on stuff there. My stepson and his mother are "best friends". He grew up without a father at all. I come in the picture at 13 and he hated me. Coddling, anger control issues, no boundaries, etc. Not all of that list, but a good solid chunk of it.

Edit: And if I were to share that with my wife and her sister (both have boys, all with these issues, all criminals), they'd get pissed at me.

I concur 100%.

Check these images for instance, in every image the child is learning more useful things from his father.
