Dead Beat Dad's

First I do not have kids, so maybe I should not respond to this post, but I have seen friends that have been in the situation. First friend (wife) her husbands picture should be in the dictionary under "deadbeat". He had a children in a previous marriage and never saw them or did anything with them. He married my wife's friend and about 2 years later, she told us that she was going to have a child. Fast forward 1 year, he did not want anything to do with the child and left. Than I have a friend (male) that was not married, but had a child. His girlfriend was nuts and he had the video tape to prove what she was doing to her daughter. He did not have a lot of money, but he took it all and hired an attorney to get full custody of his daughter. He won and explained to her that she could visit the daughter as long as he was around. The mother only saw her daughter a few times in 2 years she actually passed away. 10 years later, I see them a few times a year and he is such a great dad. Taking the daughter to girl scouts or dance, etc. and doing things with her. He even learned how to braid her hair and how to do nails. Pretty cool dad.

Well it takes all types to make the world. Have you heard of the ones who abuse their kids, they are even worse. At least these ones leave them and go and don't abuse them.

I don't know why some dads choose to not be in their kids lives. Not fair to the children. For some it's selfishness and some may be doing their children a favor by not exposing them to their dysfunctional behaviors.

Unfortunately some mothers don't want their children either. It is very sad.

It is very sad for the children whose fathers do not love or care for them
