No personal point scoring involved here just a straightforward legitimate and valid question as to what involvement the fathers of these now tragically orphaned children have in this matter .
It has been suggested that some research into the drug problem might suit me better , that’s a fair comment from someone who knows nothing about me because if they did they would know that I’m more than likely more up to par than they are about the scourge of drugs in Northern Ireland through my work.
Like it or not these two women showed a breathtaking selfishness by continuing to have children even though they knew they were addicted to drugs but yet somehow their problems are seen by some to be everyone else’s fault , how is that ? Any addiction can be a horrendous life destroying thing and I’m not for one minute trying to make light of that but it’s a well known fact that in any addiction admitting that you have a problem and meaningfully seeking help are the first steps in beating the problem and by that I don’t mean crying “I have a problem” whilst continuing to stuff drugs down your throat and then claiming that no one helps . Stop self pitying and start helping yourself , family members also need to help instead of just waiting for a tragedy like this and then claiming nothing was done to help , what help did the families seek for these women ? .
I await the inevitable onslaught of anti Bigali posts.
Ps . If any research is to be done as was suggested, I would suggest that contraception would be a good place to start.
interestingly ideas! Oddly, when anyone questions the role of a father in a kid’s life, or the composition of a family, or the choices people make, they are accused of being judgmental, sexist, misogynist, prejudiced etc,
