I wish I saved the names of the "It's only my sperm, not my responsibility" crowd. I would ping them to this article.

Bless the women and children in Georgia. I hope they make it through this fight for their lives.

The way I see it, ANYONE male of female who doesn't support their children should be sent to jail. Why can't we figure out what support is....it isn't always just financial. Sometimes those children with the most financially, are the ones with least "support."

But to hell with many decent men, some of whom are barely allowed to see their kids and who live in poverty thanks to people of your mindset.

I am attracted to these particular threads for some masochistic reason. But anyways, my ex-wife left me with three children and almost bankrupt. But I did manage to pull through with with time and a lot of prayer and understanding from creditors.

My youngest child was eight the oldest was twelve. I raised them all on my own without any child support from their mom. It took her almost three years after she left before she wanted to have visitation with her children.

It's been 13 years now, everyone is grown and my ex-wife has been diagnosed as having a mental disorder, she is on medication and has resumed a full and complete life.

So when I read these threads I do realize that we all come at this issue with our own emotional baggage weighing us down and coloring our views.

There are men and women who have by their actions enflamed us, (the reasonable, hard working and responsible for our actions) to the point that we become irrational with each other because "we" don't have the same life experiences and just don't understand why "you" don't get it, what ever the 'it' in question is.

So in a rambling and very general way, I am saying that I love to read what every one of you has to say about this most interesting and life changing subject and that each of us by neccessity of our personal life experience has to approach it from a different direction.

From my own personal experience though I can say that anger will eventually eat you up and that learning to let it go and accept that life isn't always fair and that the tough just keep getting up and going on will get you through the day and eventually through the month and the year ...etc.
