My parents divorced when I was about 9. I grew up in a home where marriage dysfunction was the norm. We went through 5 step moms. My brother and sister
all became close because we had to rely on each other.
I married my first wife when I was in my early twenties. I was emotionally very immature. I needed to be loved so I dated little and married fast. My 1st
wife could not have kids so we adopted a beautiful boy. He was 3 weeks old. When our child was 3 years old we divorced, the child had an addictive
personality and needed a dad, I was not there full time as my wife moved away. He became a drug addict and was in and out of jail. We tried to help
him but as divided as we were, we were not much help. To make matters worse my second wife and I were battered in court for more child support
so much that we decided to give me a vasectomy at the age of 30. The Dr. never even asked me why at such a young age, why would I want to sterilize
myself. I could not imagine being beat up in court again because a marriage failed, the courts were used to hurt me because I hurt my wife by leaving
her.
I’m now 57 and have been happily married for 18 years. I have one regret, it is I wish more than anything that I had children. I was emotionally
dysfunctional when I first married, my family’s role in the sexual revolution hurt me and I carried it on to hurt more people. Marriage is a beautiful
thing, a sacrament in the Catholic church. Marriage is a moral obligation to raise our children and be a family. Its not a union of people that are
selfishly focused on self pleasure. I have no children, I have no legacy because I messed up really bad. I just pray that my story can help a young
person or couple from all the pain I inflicted on myself and others. God has the only plan that preserves families and your dignity, God wants what’s
best for you despite what your desires and hormones are telling you.
May God bless America! George
