Ok I wasn't going to say anything amongst all of these posts, but I do feel I need to say something here. You say you have never heard of a father lifting a finger to take care of a child and it's always the gf, wife, etc... who takes care of them. My father raised me and both of my brothers from the age of 4 by HIMSELF. We NEVER had a woman living in our house until he re-married when I was 18. Just wanted to let you know that there is a reality out there that you are not willing to see. You seriously need to step out of the box your living in and take a look at the real world. Just because you are in a certain situation does not mean the entire world thinks and acts the way your ex does.
