Names

One of the kids teasingly called me mom last night. I told them they could call me that if they wanted. They seemed relieved. They haven't yet in normal conversation, but we will see.
.
I was told they never have called anyone Dad, not even their real dad. I know they have referred to some of their mother's bf as dad, even as "real dad", but didn't call them that to their face. And now the latest one had ditched them.  Makes me want to say terrible things.
.
I am thankful for God. And for fathers who are real men.
Men Who follow God are some of my new heros.
.
Thankful for best friends.
.
Thankful for God helping and answering prayers tonight. In so many ways.
.
Thankful for Godly parents who are still amazing.

What are your thoughts? Is he really trustworthy? Does it excuse him?
