maybe you are right tbh. it's more like my gut tells me we shouldn't let people off that easy. like yea people give their kids away and honestly i feel like they probably **** their kids lives up in doing so and so really i think they failed to meet their obligations in that regard. i feel like i don't want to lift that blame or burden just because they are ****ed up enough that their kids are better off without them.
for instance, when i was growing up i had this neighbor who smoked crack and had her kid steal for her and ****. she was such a terrible mom that her kid might have been better off in state custody, but i still think she was sort of a ****ty person for being such a terrible mom in the first place, regardless of what her weaknesses are.
i guess what you are saying is logical. i'm really not trying to argue with it just for the sake of it. but there is something in my gut that doesn't trust people, and feels like if we lift the burden of their obligations from them that more and more people will just flake out and society will become even worse than it is.
