It's not lie if everybody accepts and supports it, merely a convention. There's father-by-birth, and then father-by-adoption, and then father-by-convention.

- kaeluka 9y agoThe daughter doesn't support it
- tyingq 9y agoSorry, but it's just terrible. The mother is paying $200/month for a service that could disappear at any moment. The daughter thinks the rental is her real father. That's highly likely to unravel sometime in her life time. Certainly at his funeral...he is using a fake name and personna.
- imustbeevil 9y ago> The mother is paying $200/month for a service that could disappear at any moment. The real father actually did disappear, after a history of abuse.
- hrktb 9y agoI think the fact that the daughter or her surrounding world has troubles rooted in the lack of father representation is the terrible part. Not that someone has to be blamed, but it’s the shitty start of the story. From there if the mother can fake it until her daughter is in a better situation, I think it’s positive. Even if it doesn’t turn out that well, I am not sure it would much more devastating than having been bullied for all that time she was decieved, and it could a start for a discussion on how she deals with her father image.
- Eliezer 9y agoPresumably if her mom is about to run out of money, she pays for a final session where the dad gets hit by a car and has a funeral, right?
- danudey 9y agoIf it costs $18,000 USD for a wedding, I wonder what it would cost for a funeral. Likely more than $200.
