Why should he then care about you a woman he doesn't want and a child he doesn't want?? Just because you gave it up got knocked up then wanted to have the kid he is by law hooked to you no matter if he wishes you both would suddenly lose air and stop living. Now thats fucked up its your choice to have the kid and I applaud you being a single mom but its not always OUR choice if we want to have the child or not. You just look at things from one view instead of opening your mind I see your situation and like I said I applaud you being a single mom but you knew what you were getting into when you had the child there is no reason he should have to pay for a child he doesn't want. Thanks.

I look at it like this.
I can understand why a man in that situation would be pissed off. I probably would be as well.
However, the baby was there. He happened. It wasn't my choice, either, but I stepped up to the plate like an adult and did what I had to do.
I don't ask for SHIT from my son's father. I don't ask for medical insurance. I don't ask for him to be any sort of a father. We haven't spoken since I was 3 or 4 months pregnant.
I'm not trying to play the martyr, here, I'm just saying that when it comes down to it, child support is a small price to pay. Men who are not involved in their child's lives have no responsibility. They can go forth and do whatever the hell they want.
Could I have had that luxury? Maybe, if I wanted to kill my baby or give him away, but I didn't. I couldn't. I have that right.
Men have the right to walk away, but I do believe that they should pay support.
Many don't, and they get away with it, but does that make it right?
If you created a baby, you are responsible for that child, whether you wanted it or not.
