"He was the parent she could count on... It made him dispensable, because that's how kids think. Harkens way back to Romeo and Juliet. You want most what you can't have."
I really like this quote. You don't miss something until you can't have it. In this scenario, it talks about a dad who's always there for his daughter, whereas the mom isn't. Yet the kid still wants her mom, because she never gets to have her.
