You are welcome to your opinion. I'm not going to try and change it. I wrote the article inspired by women I saw on the internet saying they were choosing to go it alone. I feel you, perhaps, wouldn't hear anything more I had to say. In general, word-fights over the internet with strangers are unwise and to be avoided. I bet you stand up for your loved ones with conviction though and you seem like one hell of a woman. They are lucky to have you in their corner.
