[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would think men who abandon their children after they're divorced, were that way prior to divorcing. Even if they stayed married they'd most likely be absent from their child's life. [/quote] I agree. My husband has been often absent from my son's life since he was 8 months old. H worked long hours, traveled for work, and all the logistics of social relationships fell to me. Now, during this pandemic, he has worked in a different states. Whenever he calls it is to discuss with me his work issues. He rarely asks about his 11 year-old kid. The other day we were in a park when he called, and I pointed the camera directly to our son. H would still not engage him. After a divorce it will very likely be worse... At one point, when kid was only 5 years old and did not respond to dad's questions while watching a cartoon, dad already said that he does not consider himself "part of this family anymore." His childish attitude really broke my heart.[/quote]
