PAS: It's All My Fault

My ex-wife fought long and hard to make sure I had as little time as possible with my two children. It cost us both an incredible amount of money (wasted) and time (wasted) and effort (wasted) all for her complete control of the kids.

Then, when she got what she wanted, suddenly all of their problems were because I wasn't around to be a father to them! They were overweight because I wasn't there (not because mom feeds them shit all day long), they misbehaved at school because I wasn't there to discipline them (I guess she was incapable), they weren't involved in sports because I couldn't teach them (she wasn't gonna get off her fat ass to do it), they couldn't ride bikes because I took them to my house (guess that $1,500 per month in child support couldn't buy them new ones, although it did buy them new computer games every week).

My children now think I didn't want to be a father to them, never knowing that I spent all of my money in court to get the chance. ALL of my money and then some. What a terrible waste, not in that it was "wasted" trying to get more custody time with my children, but wasted in that fathers today still are so looked-down upon and treated as unimportant in children's lives. Hey, but as long as he has a wallet and a job... it sucks.
