My husband left us since 2005. Since then, he cut off communications between us. I been through a very hard and tough times. I discussed things with my 3 children (ages 9, 7 and 5 yo) but as kids they repeat same questions like; "where's daddy now?", "why he is not supporting us?" and lot of "not easy questions" for a mother to answer. My big question is that, why my exhusband acted this way? He did not supports us esp our kids even a sinlge centavo since he left in 2005? What makes him do this? I sued him in court for not supporting us but he went on AWOL to where he was working just to avoid the support. "I will not give any support" was his statement before us and his boss as I wanted to settle things up...but he is at large up to now. Does some father out there do the same? I really can't answer this question up to now, why? What should I do?

Hi Angie97! There are a lot of cases like that and i personally have a friend whose husband left her for another woman, they separated and half of my friends inheritance was given to the husband. Isn't he a leech? My friend raised her 4 children all by herself while her husband squanders half of her inheritance and didn't even bother to give any child support to their children. My friend took this as a challenge and worked hard and at the same time put up a small business so she can send her kids to school. She stopped asking questions why did these happened to her and just armed with herself with all the strength she can get from God and friends. It was so difficult for her but she managed. Her eldest daughte has already graduated from college and her three kids are all in high school and in college. Just believe in yourself that you can do it and not dwell on all thosse questions. Start thinking on how you can make money and be optimistic that life will soon be better for you and your kids. I know it is hard but with support from family and friends, you will emerged as a better and stronger person. Good luck and God bless! :)
