Dear Queenie,
My aunt told me that my parents only got married because she got pregnant with me. Then they got divorced after my sister was born and I hardly ever see my father. I guess he paid child support but he never visited us or had us visit him.
Queenie, what do you say to someone who just doesn’t want you even though you are his natural child?—Abandoned son
Dear Abandoned son,
If you have the chance, you ask him why he abandoned you.
You may find out that your parents’ divorce had nothing to do with you and your sister, no matter what your aunt has told you, and that your father’s absence from your life was not because he did not love you, but because your mother kept him away for some reason – in which case you ask her why.
