Sara we had our issues as a couple; but when it comes to his daughter he actually is quite good. He plays with her, feeds her, talks to her, reads to her…you know the stuff you expect off a Father. Okay so spends limited time with her but the time he spends she actually looks forward to.

Yes financially he’s avoiding the expenses of dressing his child, holidays etc and that was addressed in our conversation before the big storming out scene.

Being a father is much more than feeding/playing/reading to a child. Making sure he is able to financially support the child he helped create is MAJOR part of being a father. Another major role of a father is setting an example of being a good man. A man who fulfills his responsibilities towards his children. Its about showing his daughters that good men take care of their wives/mother of their children.

Children aren’t stupid. They pick up on a lot of things as they grow up. The last thing you need is your daughter’s to think that their father’s current behavior is acceptable and then they in turn end up putting up with verbal/emotional abuse and/or controlling behavior when they get married…b/c that’s how they saw their mother being treated.
