I upvoted you for the 'never a good time...' line lolz, but your last statement is truly absurd. I assume you don't have kids. Nothing replaces a parent, even a flawed one.

That's easily refuted -- it depends on how flawed.

Talk to some kids who have been abused, abandoned or had debilitatingly mentally ill parents.

Compare with kids whose parents divorced or who lost a parent to disease.
