[quote=Anonymous]My dad left when I was 5 and my brother was 7. He got every other weekend with us. He decided to move a few hours away for a job and then maybe would get us every 6-8 weeks. My brother was a challenging teenager and it was decided that he would move in with my dad. My brother and mom were going to a therapist then and my dad expressed that he wasn't ready to take care of my brother. The therapist said "He is 16 years old. When do you think you will be ready?" I remember sitting in that therapy office wondering the same thing. My dad was content letting my mother do it all. He was fine with occasional visits where he didn't need to do any of the work of parenting. [/quote]
