[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't have anger. I included details to give a full picture, but there's no anger. No, I do not like Deadbeat anymore than anyone likes a 'man' who pulls the disappearing act on his child.

I'm more concerned. Okay and disgusted. How convenient to step up and play daddy now.

The good news is that I haven't shared my feelings with him about this. Sis just told me about it this morning.[/quote]

Uh...op? you have anger.  :) You can call it "disgust" if you want, but being as upset as you are indicates you are still angry at this guy. Why not admit it?  it's to your credit. I disagree with PP that it's a bad thing, you just need to keep your head and focus on the issue at hand: keeping your nephew safe. He's an adult and needs to be able to handle himself. "stranger danger" is for little kids. Let's say he goes to visit and deadbeat does do something that puts him in danger. will he know what to do?  Focus on that. Focus on getting him the skills he needs to handle whatever might happen. [/quote]

Anger...disgust...whatever. I don't think this guy is good for my nephew. Sis and I gave all we had to this kid. I just can't help but wonder if he'd be so willing to reunite if Nephew was a low income, needy HS drop out (like the bio kids Deadbeat was there for) instead of a successful college kid who's had every financial advantage in life. No thanks to Deadbeat or that minimal amount of child support Sis got from age 3-18 with no increase.[/quote]
