[quote=Anonymous]My mother did this. In the seventies, I was one of a handful of kids being raised by their dads that I knew--all of us had alive moms that were in the picture, but not the custodial parent. The reasons ranged from "finding oneself" to career choices to mental illness. It is interesting though, although it was an unusual choice, I think our mothers were less stigmatized for it than mothers would be today. For me, it was the best situation--my mom was mentally ill. But my best friend's mom was just the parent with less money, as far as I know. She saw her kids on the weekends and lived about ten blocks away from the family in a small apartment. They are all still very close. I think you, OP, should get some counseling, but your decision is also not beyond the pale. Why shouldn't women have this option? [/quote]
