Deadbeat Dads

If there is anything in this world that just pisses me off, it would have to be dead beat dads.  Don’t get me wrong, I do realize there are also dead beat moms as well, but my life has crossed paths with so many dead beat dads.

So often, young children have to suffer the effects of not having a child in their lives.  Or having the father in their life, but him failing to focus on his children.

While single mothers struggle to raise their children alone, the father is often a no show.  I guess most of my anger comes from personal experience.

My own 8 year old son, the only boy in a house of three women, has already started to express his own anger and sadness, due to his own father’s abandonment.  For no good reason, my son’s father made the choice to stop seeing him.  This is his only child, and he can also never have another child again!  I guess this is for the best anyway.  Dead beat parents should not be allowed to have more children anyway.  Considering that they cannot take care of the ones they already have.

I seem to be the only one who is cognisant of the effects this has on my own son.  Some of the effects are short term, but some of them are long terms effects and damaging.

If only the dead beat dads realized exactly what their actions do to their children, maybe they will turn into dead beat dads!

Makes me ill!! The innocent children are the ones who suffer.
