Mistaken Identity Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 What do you think of a guy who claims his kids don't contact him? He has a son, 22 and a daughter, 16. They are by different women. What are the odds that both of his ex-wives would discourage their kids from contacting him? Or that he was not a good husband/father to either? I should add that all of them--father, son, daughter, exes--have active Myspace accounts. Oh--and this father's kids are not the top two on his website--those honors go to British women whom he emails.

IMO if he were any kind of father he'd try harder to be a part of these kids lives. Especially now that they're grown up, it isn't like their moms have THAT much influence anymore, if that were ever the problem. You sounds like you've already made up your mind, though. Which is fine - but then why do you ask?
