That is an ideal and a good thing to strive for, but people find themselves in all kinds of circumstances in life. Unexpected things like a dishonorable spouse or bad career choice or being born in a less than perfect situation. Shit happens, children make choices that we wouldn't want for them, and yet disowning them after the fact can't be the only solution, which is an answer I see suggested a lot. You still love your kids and continue to do everything you can to help them make better choices in life.
