Forgotten Longing
Written By Melvin Sng

An estranged father comes back into her life. But she refuses to miss him again. What does it take to tear a family apart and to bring it together once more?
From 2005 to 2014, over 50,000 children under 21 were involved in divorce cases in Singapore (Source: Family Justice Courts and Ministry of Social and Family Development). With more than 7,000 divorces taking place each year in Singapore, the idea of growing up in a single-parent household has increasingly become a norm. In most single-parent families, the parent with custody of their children takes on dual roles as both the mother and father. When that happens, the affected children tend to rely solely on the parent that they live with, all while emotionally drifting away from the other.
