What's the point in dating single mothers?

It was because there was never any child abuse. Unless you count stabbing a pregnant lady. I'd say it's at least good for child endangerment.

My blood is boiling after reading that!

You get big hugs from me.

In Georgia, shared custody is mandatory unless there are significant reasons to do otherwise. My exhusband wasn't just severely abusive (physically, sexually, and emotionally), he also stabbed me in the stomach during my last pregnancy. Still when I went to the final hearing on my divorce, to find out the decision on custody...I requested full custody of course, the judge said "well you're lucky he didn't show up today, otherwise it'd have likely been 50/50"

Yeah, it's sad -- and should be criminal -- how the law is applied in such a thoughtless manner. Attempted murder should disqualify any adult for any role in supervising or parenting a child.

It's attempted fucking murder.

Based on real life cases in the news it's very stressful when people go through nasty divorces and when kids are involved.  Usually the woman wants to be a bitch and deprive the father of a meaningful relationship with his rug rats.  She's so intent on being spiteful that she doesn't see that the guy is being consumed with grief and rage.  She thinks that he's sane when in reality he's about to become a homicidal maniac.   Typical examples  http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/09/11/rec...ecame.html.   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/22...27412.html

It seems silly to want the kids of someone you've grown to hate.  That seems like false love.  Every time you look at them you see the image of the person you now despise so how can you fully love them?  

Guys might get wrapped up in pride and vanity.  They see their hopes and dreams being destroyed.  Maybe they were at fault and maybe they weren't.  But they care too much to face the loss of their family.

It's the caring that causes their unhappiness and leads to tragedy.  If they were able to suppress their caring when the woman is intent on depriving them of a meaningful relationship with their kids they would simply write them off as dead on the divorce day and emotionally bury all memories of them (without actually going nuts and killing them).  The man could then move on and find a better woman.  He might even have better kids with her.  Of course he will be stuck with child support for years but he could regard it as just another utility bill.

Hey wyrd, you're really weird.

How many children do you have, Woggie?

I'm betting it's in the close neighborhood of zero.
