No, this dillhead cares for no one but himself. I was 6 when he left for Vietnam. He and my bio mother had split in ‘61 and left me in foster care. The military has nothing to do with it.
He doesn’t have PTSD, he’s got BAJDAJ (born a jerk, die a jerk).
The way I see, if you’re man enough to stick it in, you better be man enough to take care of what comes out. As for being “afraid”???? Are you kidding me? Sounds like an excuse to escape responsibility to me. Not buying.
I guess he was evading responsibility. Sorry to hear that. I know I was acting like a jerk a lot, but I did see him when I could, living on opposite coasts, and I never did try to avoid paying the child support, but those were a far cry from being there and being a FATHER to him. But, as I say, we reconciled and now he wants me to move closer to him, if and when I can... and I am sure thinking seriously about it!
