That's true, iam. But I think there are degrees.

Some still stay in contact with their children, some work out support and visitation with their BS, some still CARE for their children - at least enough not to abandon them completely.

Some walk away and treat the children as if they don't exist, some don't provide ANY financial support, some are brutal and make their children question what their WHOLE LIVES were based on, the revisionist history that hurts the children just as much if not more than the BS.

Some would be kinder to just walk away and never look back, instead of keeping the children in the ongoing turmoil of "I love you - now I don't. I love you - now I don't."
