Mark’s latest Facebook repost paints a picture of unbreakable family bonds. But in reality, court-ordered evaluations, unpaid support, and medical reports show a father refusing to do the work to repair the damage. A bond isn’t broken by time—it’s broken by neglect and denial.

Except in Mark’s case, it’s not time or distance that keeps him apart from his kids—it’s the mountain of work he refuses to do. Court-ordered evaluations? Skipped. Accountability? Dodged. Responsibility? Ghosted.

Mark doesn’t have a surprise reunion video; he has a highlight reel of missed child support, no-shows at medical appointments, and laughing in the stands while his buddy heckles kids at basketball games. He has psychiatrists and doctors warning that his behavior actively harms his own son’s health—but instead of doing the work, he shares tear-jerker clips hoping the internet will confuse him for the dad in the video.

The truth is simple: nothing can break a healthy bond between parent and child… but refusing help, ignoring doctors, and choosing chaos over care? That’s how you shatter it yourself.
