Missing the Point?
by Appalled Grandmother
I just read all of these stories and I don't believe one of them addressed the real issue......supporting the children...... My son has custody of his two girls and their mother owes them (not him) $15,000+. She is a stripper in Houston and claims she doesn't make much money because of the economy and she is having to compete with much younger strippers, so times are hard for her! Let's talk about the girls. They are on free lunches and Medicaid....THAT is hard times for two young girls who are ridiculed at school because they are poor. Their mother drives a brand new car, their dad has the 20 year old one....THAT is hard times for two young girls. Their mother has a spacious ONE bedroom apartment with a studio. The girls now share a bedroom....THAT is hard times for two young girls. When adults divorce they do so for themselves, but that does not negate the fact that the children suffer the most--in all ways--NO ONE has the right to NOT support their children. These children would love to have a mother and a father back in their nice home, have nice clothes and get to take their lunch to school occasionally, but because they no longer have the support of both parents, that is not possible. How dare any of you whiners to complain about your circumstances...if you mothered or fathered a child, you are obligated to support that child. It is a sad statement to make that the people of the state of Texas have to hire lawyers in order for the children to be supported. Ask any of them.....I am sure they would much rather not be going through any of this. Did both of your parents support you? Probably not, divorce breeds the next generation of divorce, statistically speaking. Can you remember as a child the pain and sorrow you suffered? Think of the CHILDREN......they need both of their parents' support and love. Shame on dead-beat parents!
