Talk me out of abandoning my kids

[stb_divorced]

OP everyone here is trying to help & support you. we are offering advice to HELP improve your situation.

you seem hell-bent on doing it your way & dismissing everyone. so that begs the question why did you come here?

you want to leave your wife & kids behind? ok go for it! lots of dads do it everyday...

but they dont stop at a dads forum asking for advice. you need to figure out what u want first. you can run a million miles but that wont fix your problems. but whatever - if u need support for fixing your kid situation u are in the right place. if u think we'd support abandoning them, no.

7 years in AA?

That explains your attitude. Apparently the "program" really works for you!

I've had enough of this trollish stupidity.

You came to a Dad's forum and made it perfectly clear that you don't give a rip about your own kids, in the face of a *potential* financial beating and loss of freedom [queue Mel Gibson's character William Wallace on the torture table]. Potential...it hasn't even happened yet. You bring the term "awfulizing" to new depths.

Then you act like an uber-pessimistic douchebag and whine hurt feelings when we point this out and give you honest opinions and thoughts on your situation, from men who have been in much worse situations than the one you are in. And you fail to respond to statements posed to you such as "You're still not explaining how abandoning your kids will relieve you of your financial burden."

Stop wasting our volunteer time. If you want real help, come back with data. Numbers. What state you're in. How much she makes, how much you make. Use percentages if you don't want to disclose dollars...we don't care, we are millionnaires and thousandaires on these boards, some hundredaires, your wealth doesn't matter here.

But no more batting practice with our comments and feedback from real-world, not imagined, experience. We have better things to do than commiserate pointlessly with you or anyone else.
