I guess that girl is more mature than I am. I have not experienced that and I am mad. If he is an irresponsible guy well he is, but for him to choose to be a dad to other kids but no to her? Nope, sorry. Horrible
I agree. Maybe I'm just emotionally immature but damn this story makes my blood boil. One thing is having problems with your partner that lead to divorce, that I can understand to a certain extent. But another thing is completely distancing yourself from your child even to the point when they're not even worth a bit of child support money to you. That's just... ugh. Disgusting. And then starting a new family like the first one doesn't even matter. It hasn't happened to me either so maybe my point of view is completely off since I can't relate, but damn does this make me angry. Maybe because men leaving women (either when they find out the woman is pregnant and just don't want the responsibility or for other reasons when the child is born already) has been such a culturally normalized thing until so very recently that when somebody does that it reminds me of the shitty, oppressive past when men were held to no standards regarding kids.
My father was never around and didn't ever pay shit when I was a kid and I never felt anything but apathy for the whole situation. He wasn't around and I had no reason to give a shit either way
Even the money part I can understand if for some (valid) reason he really can't afford it. But not being present at all? And then be able to be there for the other kids and not feeling guilty of never seeing her? Scum
This was mine. Only he refused to give up rights. Never saw me anyway. He died last year. I get called cold for not being said. I mean, I didn't know the guy.
The dad's a dick, but still aww
