My man. My man. Lol.
It pisses me off when I do stuff for my girlfriend's kid only to find out their father did jack squat. But I still do it, really cool person so I want to help out.
"Thanks, I asked my dad a couple weeks ago but he said he'd think about it and never got back to me on it," I have heard this shit one too many times.
Then they tell their mom they wish I was their real dad. That's fucked up. Your parents should always be your heroes, mine were and as nice as it is to hear that said of me it fucking pains me that they ended up in a position to have said it to begin with.
Poor kid. Some people have no business being a parent, and I don't even think that highly of myself as a parent because my own were phenomenal which gave me some sort of complex but yeah some really have no business being a parent. /rant off
I hear you, after about 25 years, it was admitted that she got pregnant on purpose so I wouldn't leave her. That was our first born, who's 2 grand daughters, my wife, whom I remarried something like 9 years laterish, are now the Legal Guardians of. We have had them living with us more than they lived with my son and his 2 wives combined.
I finally accepted the fact that these girls need a stable environment. We need to teach them morals values and educate them.
The youngest didn't really start talking until about 4 yrs old. The oldest, who is 7 now. We were told stories. We believe the children. The youngest at the time was about 3 maybe, would get food out of the trashcan to eat.
She surely has an unhealthy relationship with food.
I get home from work and the first thing I am asked is "papa can I have some cereal (insert some sort os sweet processed food here) "
My son and I have been in multiple physical fights, due to his 2 female choices. Both addicts, and extreme narcissists. Son is an addict too. But it was mainly cough and cold tablets, so police couldn't do anything. In KY there is a law Casey's law. We did that once, court ordered rehab. Didn't complete.
Anyway, we have had them for more than a year straight now, and full custody. We are allowed to give supervised visits, that hasn't happened.
Anyway long story short, thought me and wife would be without kids by mid 40s, now I have another 11 years to go. We get no support. Yet, state is going after both of the parents for state paid funds. Whether we will see any aid I couldn't speculate.
Edit: during the divorce years, I did date several women with children, and those kids dads were deadbeats.
