No matter how many one brings these examples which could be doubtful, controversial and still debatable.............,
one cannot defeat studies showing opposite conclusions.
I have discussed the similar topic a while ago, and have no intention to flood my post with counter argument.
It is well established, broken families do not always bring mentally healthy and balanced offspring and by bringing one or two great qualities cited in above examples does not mean, those people still were socially acceptable, balanced or adaptable.
**
World famous singers, actors, athletes etc. do still commit suicide, other crimes and or live lives in far away secluded place.
That means, being famous or having one or other extra talent does not mean the person himself/herself is not actually suffering.
**
**What I mean is that the measure of success is out of place here.
**
Strong, gentle kind, loving caring men are desirable and abusers and rapists aren't fit to live in society with other humans and are locked away in prisons so they may not harm members of civilised society.
No idea why you quoted me and said that.
My post talked about removing ANY possibility of the stupid term marital rape....once for all.
