[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the responses, but I think many men do this when they think they've screwed up as fathers. Emotionally, they have a hard time dealing with their own failure as a parent. I think this is why you often see men be much better fathers to children they have with a second wife. It's like they get a fresh slate, a do-over. It is in NO WAY a reflection on the children themselves but only of the character of the father. I don't think it reflects a difference in love, either. I remember reading a study about how frequently men leave women who become very, very ill. It's shockingly common. I think this is a similar dynamic, in which the men find themselves in situations they feel they can't control, problems they can't solve, so they run away. It's their weakness.[/quote] Interesting. I was the kid from the second marriage. The third marriage has yielded no children.[/quote]
