  • Wow Duchy, you really seem to hate men! It's been 3 weeks since he left, he's probably trying to get his head together and get sorted. You assume an awful lot and it all paints this man in the worst light possible.

    Nothing to do with his sex-if it was a mother doing the same my reaction would be identical.

    "I don't need to support my kids" OP has stated he was paid on 21st yet he's not paying child support.

    "I'll find somewhere to live when I'm good and ready" ..... despite the fact where I'm living in unsuitable for the children to visit (tho one has to wonder why the grandparents can't not smoke when the kids are visiting)

    Taking a computer the children use for school work. (different if there are multiple PCs in the home but this is the only one)

    Maybe my standards of what makes a decent parent are just different to yours but in my world my kids come first not last.

    Nice little dig at the end of your post there! I would fully expect this man to support his children, but I can have sympathy that his 20 year relationship has ended, he's had to leave the family home and his children and this only happened 3 weeks ago. Not everybody could afford to pay a deposit and move into a new place unexpectedly within 3 weeks.

    You are twisting words to suit your own agenda ('he'll turn on her' for example) I thought your name looked familiar, you did a similar thing at the start of Jackrs thread.

    I'm glad others and even the OP to some extent are more reasonable than you.
