[CajunConservative]

I am an adult whose only real memories of my father were constant b!thcing and moaning about having to pay minimal child support. My father CHOSE to be more attatched to his money he was having to pay than he was in having a relationship with his children. We did not choose our circumstances they were forced on us.

Well when I needed a father, food, clothes, adequate shelter he was too busy to bother with us. Now the tables have turned on him. He is elderly, disabled in a wheelchair and still bitter about all the lost money he was forced to spend on his children. The only reason he isn't stuck in a nursing home alone somewhere is because I am a christian and have forgiven him all of the pain he has caused me.

You just might want to consider what seeds you are sowing now and what you may reap later.

[Conservative til I die]

Yah but dude, we're conservatives, so we're supposed to all be against child support, which apparently is now a conservative platform. Oh, and I think we're supposed to think it wrong if CPS stops a parent from say, pistol-whipping their kid or putting out Marlboro's on them for not taking out the trash, because we have to have an extreme kneejerk reaction to every liberal action. Thus there would be no line to be drawn on abuse either.

You are a true saint. We could use many more like you.
