Kelliinlove Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 hmmm....i have been having a debate with a friend of mine... this is for the women out there, would you be able to get up and walk out on your children? just leave them with their father? i was discussing this with a friend of mine cos her husband has a little boy and he has full custody of him because his wife just walked out and left the boy...and had no contact for 6 months and is now back demanding that she see her son. i personally could never leave a child behind, granted i am not a mother, but it seems inhumain....wether it be father or mother actually... so to everyone on the forum...could you just walk away from your children and not see them again?

baileys_mum Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 As a mother, no I couldn't do it, unless I was mentally ill and it was best for my children. My mum had a spell of mental ill health and left me on my own with my sister and two brothers. I was 12, my sister was 8 my brothers were 4 and 3. I know why she did it, but still cant understand how she could have just disappeared and not wondered how we were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordChaverly Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I remember reading of case recently (I think it was in the papers last week) of a woman who suddenly decided to leave her husband and kids and start a new life for herself in Spain. She was tracked down by reporters and said that she really had no regrets as she knew the kids would be safe with her (soon to be ex?) husband.

Sierra Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I could never leave my children. The circumstances would have to be extraordinary for me to even consider it. My youngest sister returned to law school last year, and she sometimes works as a process server in the evenings. She told me you would not believe how many deadbeat moms she serves, if the court can find them. Mostly it's dads who get all the bad press, but there are plenty of women out there who are just as bad, if not worse. Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 After the death of my son I left my partner and our daughter and it was the hardest thing ive ever done. I had to leave for the sake of my daughters sanity because her mother and I despised the ground each other walked on. We had decided to part after the death of our son so its not as if it was a surprise for anyone. Knowing that my daughter is in sheffield and that theres a good chance that I wont see much of her in future is actually harder on me than watching my son die. However, I phone her each week , send her pocket money each week too and when we`re on the phone together we`re rabbiting away for an hour at least and that makes my week complete. My ex is now married to a good bloke who looks after my daughter as if shes his own so my mind is at rest as far as get getting love is concerned.

Guest Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm not a mother, but I can't even begin to imagine how a woman could break the connection from her child, unless in some strange way she thought that it might be for the good of the child itself.

Kelliinlove Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 i was amazed when my friend told me all about it and neither of us can understand how she left her only son behind with S***n. now my friend is pregnant and due to give birth in the next month...but she loves S***n's little boy just as much as anything, while his mother has stormed back in and is demanding she see her soon who she has not seen for 6 months...i don't understand how she could leave in the first place...

Guest Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 But Jabbers, that's different. You still have contact with your daughter. You haven't taken the decision to cut off all contact and establish a new life without her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
