[quote=Anonymous]Why the hell do posts like this ALWAYS devolve into blaming the mother? It doesn't matter why she was with him, or why he left.

What matters is her kid, who is here NOW and who she is trying to raise without a father (for whatever reason). She posted here for advice and support, not to be ripped to shreds.

It's fine to say 'be careful who you date and go slow', but why the fuck do people need to be nasty about it? Are you so miserable inside that you need to spread it around? 23:33 is scary, but not nasty. That's good info to think hard about when dating. 23:12 is an asshole.

If a single mom posts here and is obviously a nutcase, go for it. But not every single mother is a slut, stupid or irresponsible. Yet EVERY post gets responses that blame her for being all of the above.

You want to help the child, "the one who is more sorely affected"? Which do you think is more helpful? Making her mother feel like shit and guilty (she prob already feels that way or she wouldn't post a question like this)? or giving thoughtful advice that she can USE and think about? [/quote]
