[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2579028, member: 1242"] I hear ya ... and God knows I don't have any answers. I know there are deadbeat dads, because I was married to one, unfortunately. Left when I was pregnant with Son No. 3, never came to visit, never called, never paid a dime of child support. I know I'm not the easiest person in the world to get along with when I'm mad but I NEVER tried to keep him from his kids. And I never said anything unkind about their father in front of them. When they were older and wanted to know why he left, I told them it was because of ME ... not them ... still ... kids have a way of figuring things out ... and I had relatives who were more than glad to tell them things I didn't think they were old enough to hear ... or understand ... :grumble: I know families that have stayed together until the bitter end but still there was abuse by one parent that was covered up by the other because God forbid folks find out they weren't the "perfect" family. It was all about appearances ... damage to the kids be damned ... that was not even a consideration. I guess it's been this way since the beginning of time ... And I can't even say some people behave like animals ... Even animals don't treat their young like some humans do ... :( Can't put them ALL in jail ... but you are right ... there needs to be SOME kind of accountability ... [/QUOTE]
