The same kind of man who does. They aren’t worth it whether they are the mom/wife or dad/husband.
What kind of man allows his children to be raised by a woman who is bat shit crazy? My brother. A great guy, wonderful provider. Fortunately, his children got over their hatred of him when they became married adults. Her lawyer made sure she got everything including the kids. Until they were old enough to leave her and realize who really cared about them. I know he left them with her because it would have killed her to lose them and he didn’t want that. He got royally screwed financially and royally screwed with his kids.
He should have fought harder, he should have held his ground, he should have done a lot of things regardless of the judge’s ruling. But he didn’t. This is what divorce does to kids. At least they talk to him and sadly want nothing to do with their mother.
Marriage is wonderful but it’s hard and far too many people don’t value the vow they made.They don’t value the kids they made.
Ex has seen our children about 3 days in the last year. Two older children refer to her as an incubator and just “say the right things” to her when they converse. Sad situation all around, but the “ex” found herself I guess (While hurting 5 people that once loved her).
‘Eat, Pray, Love’ or whatever set her off after reading the book. Before that looking for “father figures” to sleep with. Lost soul if you ask me, her denial about what she did to the kids mentally, emotionally, etc... angers me the most.
