Dads who leave the responsibility to the SINGLE MOMS...

Men like that are cowards. That being said posts like this really get my hackles up. You know there is such a thing as single dads, and even single dads who raise thier kids on their own. Men aren't the only ones who abandon families. Deadbeat moms are ignored by our society, we tend to pretend that only deadbeat fathers exist. I am a single newly single dad, and my daughter lives with me and the plan is for her to go to her mom's during the daytime during the week. I half expect that to fade away over time and my exwife to stop being a major part of her life. My exwife spent the last year of our marriage distancing her from my life and to some extent even my daughters life.

I think these men are dogs and deadbeat dads. I went through this when I got pregnant with my daughter. I met her dad when I was in elementary school and he used to be my little boyfriend. He broke up with me later on though. That just about broke my heart because I liked him alot. We moved when I was about 16 years old and I didn't see him again until I was 20 years old. I still liked him alot and wanted to be with him. He took me out one time and we slept together that night. I got pregnant and I called him and told him that. He said, well I don't want it. I never heard from him again and he didn't see his daughter until she was about 3 months old when we had the blood test done at child support. He waited 6 whole years to tell his family that he even had a child. He has nothing to do with our daughter. He doesn't even send her a birthday card or anything. He doesn't call her or even know her name pretty much. I have a wonderful husband od 12 years and he loves her and has been in her life since she was 9 months old. My husband wants to adopt her but the real father won't let my husband do it because the real father claims my daughter on his taxes every other year and makes a killing. It isn't fair and it isn't right, but he will regret it later in life for not at least showing her a little bit of love.

Often these men do what they do to hurt the other parent, without taking into account what it does to the child. My Dad was still involved in my life growing up, but he found his own ways to use my sister and I as his pawns. Growing up I learned pretty quickly how to make his actions backfire.

I will not call this guys men. They are boys disguise as men. Real men does not turn their backs on responsibilities, they face them head on. There should be a law regarding these. Men should be compelled to support his child may it be in wedlock or otherwise.
