Leaving like this is often a luxury women can’t even entertain. Very unfair that men can walk away so much more easily. I wonder how this kid’s mom turned out. Did she get to pursue any of her dreams?

I don’t consider contact, visits, financial support, etc. as “walking away”. Do you consider it walking away when men go off for service? Also, there are many grandmothers out there taking care of grandkids while their daughters pursue their dreams.

I always wonder under stories like this if the mother had any dreams.

I can't judge him I feel like, he didn't want to abandon his son, but he wanted to be able to provide for him better w/o completely sacrificing himself Plus he didn't completely leave his kid and tries harder today. We don't know if he would've been better or bitter if he stayed.

He did not leave because of the kid. He left for his own selfish reasons. It's right there in the story.

Parents can never win with their kids. He'd have stayed and his son might have resented him for being poor. He left to provide a better life for him and the kid resents him. Hopefully he'll get over it and start building a relationship with his dad cause it's never too late.

If he stayed and worked hard to provide and was still poor, his son would have respected him for his effort to be with and provide for the family. If you don't or can't live ur dream, help someone(his son) realize theirs.

the woman would not even have been able to have the luxury of just packing up and leaving to pursue her hopes and dreams because she had to stay home and raise a child. It was a selfish decision to just pack up and leave and only be around once a month for a day

When you become a parent your life does not stop to serve the child. It’s a balancing act between providing what they need and making sure you’re still an individual. As a parent it’s your duty to provide for them, it’s not your duty to give them what they want necessarily.

I’m a currently single parent investing in myself while providing for my child. I finally graduate this year but there have been times where in order to invest in me I’ve had to make a parenting compromise. There is give and take. I’d never walk away though, my baby is come with
