Well when his parents buy him a home to live in while I'm living in an apartment. He makes 5 times the amount that I do a month. As far as a male role model they do have their older brother as well as uncles and my boyfriend that is a role model. Also they would still have their father as I have stated before I encouraged a relationship with him in the beginning and if I didn't insist that they call him at least once a day my boys wouldn't have called him at all. He never called them it was always the boys that called him. He never came to pick them up unless I called him and stated that I really think the boys need to be with you today, although he would always say sorry I have something going on and I can't have them with me today. For the first year of our seperation I never asked nor did I recieve any money to support my boys I did it all on a single mothers income, they always had food, clothes, and power. So does it make me a bad mom because I lost the only love that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with to my so called best friend.
