In response, the other man who listened passionately as the man was telling him this told him not to accept it and his reason specifically was that the child will lose bond with the father and the relative that the child will grow up with will be the one to have that bond instead. A lack of bond that when the child becomes an adult it will make the child not carry his biological father with much love and much important than the relative the child will live and grow with. That the man should not do it and should instead hold all his children, struggle with the burden of taking care of them all even if it kills him.
It is difficult for a child who has already known the parents to lose the bond or not have close relationships with parents even if they no longer live together. Losing a bond or relationship between children and parents only happens to those who are still very young and have not been with their parents for a long time.
The relationship between children and parents is not like that of friends or other family relatives. The relationship between children and parents lasts forever, irrespective of the number of years they have stayed away from each other.
