       Someone close to me married a man that has two ex-wives. The first and second marriages produced children and they all live with the mothers. One mother lives about 200 miles away while the other mother and child lives out of state. The children that are in state he does see 2-3 times a year. The child that is out of state is about 1,000 miles away and he hasn't seen this child in over four years. My friend has stated that he hasn't seen the child because he's far away, plane tickets are expensive and he would have to fly there to get the child and fly back with the child for a visit (too young to fly alone and they don't want to pay $100 for an escort). And yes, this friend of mine now has children with him. She is always saying he's the best father and husband. He's caring, attentive, great with the kids, always there for her, etc. She posts this stuff on facebook. They have gone on 3 one to two week vacations in the past two years but they can't scrap money together for him to go and see his son? I know this because their beach pictures were all over facebook.  I just don't understand why he doesn't get on a plane and go see his child (the costs to go there would be minimal). How can a guy be a fantastic and attentive father to one set of children, but completely absent to another child? I don't know why this bothers me so much, but it does. [/quote]
