Having been dependent on child support for 18 years provided by some unknown phantom, I'm curious- what makes a man decide that he'd rather just pay off his child like a loan debt rather than be involved in the life he's created? And even further- why are those "deadbeat dads" so adamant against taking responsibility for their actions?
Don't get me wrong, I am not bitter, and I understand that there are so many loving, caring, and involved fathers. I also know there are deadbeat mothers. But I'm specifically curious to the motivation behind a man's decision to NOT take on his paternal responsibility. What are the reasons they choose to pay child support rather than actually raising the child? Whhy are so many reluctant or unwilling to do even that?
