: My mom blames all of my sisters "issues" on her father (who left) but the REAL problem in HER situatuion, was the fact that my mother brought a string of abusive losers into our home, one after the other, and did nothing to protect the children. She was happy as long as she was not alone. And to this day, she maintains that it is HIS fault for leaving.

: My situation, not yours. I understand that. I have strong feeling about this however, and think people need to wake up and smell their part in how thier children turn out, and think about why.

And, right now I could say something like, "Yes, but SURELY your father's leaving had some part in your sister's issues as well." But this would be unfair, because I don't know the circumstances. To use my own situation again, my father did not leave us, my mother left my father, and you might be tempted to say that it is therefore partially her fault. However, the actual situation is that her doctor said that if she didn't leave, then he would probably have to commit her, because her emotional stability was gone.
You make a good point, and I have no problem with you making the point, I guess it just came off that you discounted the mother's opinion entirely, which I don't think you had a right to do. For all you know, she could have made it very clear all through the girl's life that this is the action of one man, and she shouldn't judge all men by it.
