Quote From: fromthesquareMy son's best friend has a gay father. He got married and fathered this wonderful boy then left his wife for another man. It shook her to the core when he and his lover started to show up at the son's baseball games together. It was a terrible divorce. Then he got HIV. Now they couldn't be closer. They are still divorced, he is still gay but they have decided to love each other for their son. He stays at her place and cares for her when she is sick- she has battled cancer. She takes care of him when he is sick. They raised this child together. What I think of the gay lifestyle is not important. What I think of their son is. He is a sensitive, wonderful teenager who does not get into trouble, loves his parents and respects his elders. I love him as one of my own.
That was a sweet story...and healthy people in the same situation take it for granted that they'll be around to be good parents to their children. I'm glad they modeled a loving relationship because they only have one chance to be good parents, maybe getting sick and thinking about not being around for their son brought them closer. The guests on the show should ask themselves, if I die tomorrow or get sick, will my child remember all the fighting, or that Mom and Dad treated each other well?
