I feel that if a woman has a baby and the guy doesn't want to take care of him you should go get child support and do what you have to do. No one should let a person bring them down where they don't take care of their children men and woman will leave you high and dry and tell you ,you need me to make it. Woman please stand up and handle your business. Yes we miss what we thought was good but your children didn't ask to be here and please don't kill the children to have a different man in your life who don't want children not worth it. God bless

When I first left my first husband I was horiffied. I had to go on welfare and I left half the cheque in the bank to pay the second half of the months bills. The jerk took the money from the bank ( I forgot his name was still on the account shame on me). I had no money for diapers, rent or food. Luckly they gave me more. I got a lawyer and sued the jerk. I got child support and he had to suffure coming up with the money every month but it wasn't my problem. He made the babies, so he could support the babies.

when my kids got older my ex got involved in this relationship. He had a kid with this women and she had a kid from another relationship. They reduced my support to support these two children. I don't see the fairness in this because my kids where conceived first and he should have had to support the first and formost.

That is for sure in the end the children will know who cared for them and return the favorite when you are old.

I agree. I am a single parent of three. My childrens fathers' never stepped up to the plate. I have to do what I have to for my kids. I don't have a problem with it and I do the best I can without their fathers' help.

When my son was younger my husband and I got a divorce. I always thought that he would stand up and do the right thing and help us out. I was very, very wrong. He didn't help at all for a couple of years. It took lots times to court to finally get some money out of him. But in the meantime I had to step up and take care of things. To this day my son loves his father, but he knows when he has a problem or needs to talk he always comes to me instead of his father.

You said it girl and I totally agree with you on that. I found myself doing something like that when my husband was going to leave us, I was thinking about him all the time and not about my daughter. I finally realized that he wasn't that important anymore and that my daughter is. So, I started to pay more attention to her than him and in the end he turned around and started to think about us too. We're still together and things are swell. I have learned to put my daughter first and not him. He isn't worth all that trouble at all.
