Hello friends, a pleasure to be here sharing a controversial and delicate topic because it can be seen by many in different ways, either due to upbringing, values or religious beliefs, it is about parents with children out of wedlock, and maybe when we hear this phrase comes to our mind "infidelity", and yes sadly it is one of the first causes of this fact where many will be affected and where life will change three hundred and sixty degrees to a marriage. But it also happens when parents have had children before being married, very common today, and over time with more maturity decide to marry, make family that translates into having children again in many cases.
But whatever the case may be as parents, I want to focus more on the fathers, who are the ones who incur more in this fact, but also, there are cases of mothers who remarry, and their child who is not of her current husband, lives with his grandparents, in either case the most important thing is to ensure that they never feel the absence of their parents, as this may incur emotional problems in their childhood and when they are adults.
In my experience I grew up in a family with five siblings, together with my parents, in the same home where I have no siblings out of wedlock, but I do know friends who some of them did not even get to know their parent, something that does not happen as a general rule, but where they end up repeating that pattern and in fact some do so regardless of its effects.
When a person decides to get married or in another case, to do it again, he must have a frank conversation with the one who will be his future spouse, since a child is not something that is carried in anonymity and much less to stop watching over him when assuming a new commitment, and this key, by the fact that not doing this will be the root of many problems and conflict with his wife, because that boy or girl or already adult, needs of his father that is translated in time, and not only in the material thing that is something obligatory, but for the most important thing, to take care of his emotional well-being, things that many children will not express openly, as they would say that they lack a pants or certain food.
We must remember that just as a house needs more than one column to stand firm, so it is with our children, their bases to grow emotionally healthy, is to have their parents present, their two columns, father and mother, where we will show them by being aware of them daily and today there is no excuse to do so with the present technology that allows us to communicate in many ways.
Something that as parents we must do is to integrate our child into our new family, make them see that they are not strangers, and that it is essential that they have an excellent relationship with their siblings, and with their father's wife, in this way our child will feel happy, living in the flesh that is important and is taken into account. Today sadly we hear of cases of people who have fallen in love with siblings, because of parents who never took the task of making their siblings known to try to hide their actions.
The relationship with a child will never end by the fact of separating from his mother, it is there where strong challenges will have to be overcome because generally in the case of many parents have to gain the trust and affection of their little ones by that separation, more if they are girls and if their mother speaks badly of their father, where whatever the case of separation, you should never speak badly of his father or mother to give reasons to that child, who will surely ask for them at some point, this will do great emotional damage to that child.
A father, or rather a good father, will always be aware of his son who does not live in his home and ensure that harmony reigns in his marriage and this is key, because if a father does not love his son who is his blood, it is very difficult for him to love his wife and that is evident, and if we have new children, many questions could arise for them, thinking that they could receive such treatment at some point.
In short, for this to work, the spouse must accept that there is another member in the family, only then love and peace will reign in that marriage, where as parents we must be balanced, since they will need us to talk, help them in a school assignment, have fun, which translates into investing our time for it. In my case and experience I have a beautiful daughter, already a woman, long before I met my wife, where my dealings with her, my wife and my son is great thanks to my God, even though she does not live with me, we are in communication almost every day, and when it is not for the electricity failures, but I have always let her know that I am for when she needs me and my dear wife has been a huge help to make this a reality.
And as a reflection, we must take care to value our family, our children, always be aware of them, taking into account that a betrayal is a great pain not only for the spouse who lives it, but for the whole family, and if in the immaturity of our youth we did not know how to handle the situation, a child should always receive our attention and love so that his life is happy despite not having his parents under the same roof.
