[QUOTE="donna723, post: 633139, member: 1883"] I've never really understood that either. To me, the title of "sperm donor" has never been one that automatically demands a lot of respect ... it just means that once upon a time, he had sex! Whoop dee doo! And giving birth to a baby does not automatically make you a parent either. A parent is the one who loves and cares for the child, the one who provides for and protects them, the one who helps them with their homework and takes care of them when they're sick. One of my daughter's friends is going through something similar right now. She's married now, has three kids of her own. This was not a case of severe physical, emotional or sexual abuse, her father just was never there. He left their mom when she and her brother were both very small and was never a part of their lives. He contributed nothing to their lives. He never paid child support, not even a dime, while their mother worked two jobs to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. He was never there for their birthdays, holidays, graduations - no contribution at all, financial or otherwise! And now this girl is grown and married with kids of her own, just struggling to get by like everybody else. And "Daddy" suddenly shows up at her door, down on his luck! And she welcomed him with open arms! He stayed with them for a very long time, mooching and living off of them like a big parasite, until her mother finally threatened to throw him out bodily if he didn't leave. She would have done it too! And now he's sick! While he was in the hospital, this girl practically lived there! Constantly visiting and bringing him things. He has cancer and the outcome doesn't look good. And when he was released from the hospital she brought him back to her home again and will continue to lovingly care for him and sacrifice for him until the day the sorry, worthless ol' SOB dies! She owes this man ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! But "he's her daddy". No, I don't understand it and I will never understand it. I guess she thinks that she has finally gained his love and approval, but really he's just using her one last time. So sad! [/QUOTE]
