Then in this family, the son seems to be the one who gets the short end of the rope.
Both parents are selfish.
Both tried to show him love but both are reluctant to keep him.
Neither of them is really interested in son’s benefit.
One big reason why ‘some’ women fight to keep the child/chilren with them where alimony is granted in large amount is not because they really love the child or children. They are more interested in alimony and child support. They use children as their trump cards.
The moment they find a man to marry them they find ways to dump the child or children.
