    People leave relationships for many different reasons but they do not leave their children, it can be difficult to see them and be part of their lives but that is usually because the parents cannot get along and use the children to score points of eachother, not all parents btw.
    If there is another man/woman involved then it makes it even harder but a happy home is better for the children than an unhappy home.

    I hate these loaded OP questions, so I'm just going to go with:


    Men/Women are bastards/bitches.


    Delete as appropriate. Probably would've needed a poll, but given how much lack of effort has gone into the OP, a poll would've probably been asking for a bit much.

    Some parents choose not to be part of their kids life, some kids wish for it.

    Ah, another glass of single mother's favourite w(h)ine.
    Delicious!

    As a single father, let me ask you this, OP: do you really believe anyone 'walks away' from their children, or are they more likely in fact to be discouraged by the requirement to engage in an expensive, adversarial court process in order to obtain even a provisional involvement in their children's lives following a relationship break up?
    Also, do you think anyone would 'walk away' from their children if we had parental equality enshrined in law from birth, as is the case in Scandinavia?

    I was going to put in a poll, but decided not to.

    No, they don't actually. People respond to complex circumstances. About the only example I am aware of where anyone literally walked away from their kids are those few occasions when skanky mums fecked off to Ibiza for the week and left the ten year old in charge of the four year old with a bag of cheese and onion for dinner.

    No, they respond to circumstances. Sometimes that is an inequitable legal system or an incalcitrant co-parent. Sometimes it's the requirement to emigrate for employment. Sometimes it's something else that life throws up. The emotive and inaccurate phrase 'walking away' is a nonsense, no less than 'deadbeat dad' or 'welfare queen' are nonsenses.
    We're collectively smarter than that sort of idiot rhetoric, and I intend to call people on it when I see it.

    Partners can be real sick and nasty, and go to great lengths to destroy the kids opinion, of their fathers. Believe me it sticks, they have the time to do it when you are out working.
    But such is life in this corrupt little statlet.
