Does anyone have any idea on what it is like to tell your 3 children that there's no money even for basic needs?
We lived in a tent, we lived piller to poast, My 3 children actually looked forward to food stamp day so they could have just a special treat, now this is going back many many yrs ago, and there father didn't care or even bat an eyelash at the thought of his children going without.
Here he was, this so-called man providing an expensive home for his "new children" and his wife forbidded him ANY contact with his children over the many yrs. What a wimp! to have a woman tell you not to speak nor see his own flesh and blood, a very weak individual who unfortunetly let the power of a woman rule his life.
Neither the State of Fl. Nor the State of New York did nothing, oh they did threaten him a few times, that went unnoticed, And to tell you the truth the only ones that were hurt by his poor choices and actions were his children who grew up resenting there father who they never knew.
I used to call him from Fl. and ask for help, always the same answer so sorry, and hear his kids didn't have nothing while his "other kids had a warm bed and plenty to eat, and all of the neccesities that kids need, and some luxuries, like new trucks college education and much plentyful Xmas's, while his 3 kids were lucky to get an orange!!!and appreciate the crumbs in life.
But one thing good came from this my kids love me!and stand by me and would do anything for me, I wish I could say the same for him...How he sleeps at nite is behond me, and someday he will have to answer to his maker as to just why he abandoned and deserted his kids, like they didn't even exsist.
So please , absent parants out there, no matter how old your children are, own up to the plate and be responsible, and loving, cause what your actions due affect them for the rest of there life.
I can remember one incident, My son then 11yrs old tried to call his father collect and the operator said you have a collect call from your son Jeff and fathers reply was quote, I have no son named Jeff, Jim do you know what that did to that boy??? He carried that for all of his life, You never did nor will ever do anything for the 3 children that I gave you, which were a gift from god!!!Answer that one! and see if you have the guts to sleep on that with a clear mind..
