: what sort of petty vindictive creature acts as such? i mean seriously, what in the world did she ever do to deserve such vitriol? all she did was come into the world. was this not a planned pregnancy? does he blame her for ruining his life or preventing him from reaching his goals? is he/was he angry at you, and found her to be a suitable target for hurting both of you?
: i hope she, at 32, has had the pleasure of finding out that he was not indicative of the breed, and that there at least 8 of us out here who love, respect, and cherish the women who, through folly, choose to allow us into their lives.
He was my High School sweetheart. I knew him for 4 years before we got married. We were married for 4 years before Jessica was born. He is the one who wanted a child and then he wanted me to give up my career and stay home and raise the children. I agreed to it. I got pregnant on the first try and he was very excited. However, after my daughter was born, my ex realized that he hated his job and was now supporting 3 people. Instead of discussing it with me, he started confiding in a co-worker who took advantage of the situation. My ex was so guilty that he couldn't look me in the eye and he left. I could have forgiven him because people make mistakes but he couldn't handle it. The only problem I have with him is that he abandoned his child and there was no reason for that.
My daughter and I are very close. Although she is very independent, she lives 3 blocks from me (yes, she owns her own house). Will she get married? Maybe. Will she have a good marriage if she does? Only time will tell. Does she need professional counselling? You bet she does and I've been trying to get her to go for the past 10 years. She is loved and she knows it. She has many friends -- both male and female. She gets along very well with men as long as they don't get too close.
