First of all, congratulations on being a great father and man. I beleive that most fathers do leave, and that makes everyone think badly about them. As for women being the "good ones", I think that goes back to the 50's when they all stayed home and took care of the kids. And there is that mother's instinct, most of us have it but, some just don't and that is so very sad. I am the proud mom (single) of a five year old and can never imagine leaving him and not being there for him. I hope that your kids will get the help they need when the time comes and you have to answer for your wife. All the best to you.

You have done what a lot of people do,you have followed in your parents footsteps and married a woman like your mother .sorry for you , I know mothers are not even close to being perfect, Mine was not! but if your mother hurts you ,you feel victimised twice over by people who refuse to believe mothers can do that to their children ,they can and do. But the facts are more men desert their family's than women do ,women the world over are left alone to raise the kids and no one pats them on the back ,most people look down on single mothers and say nothing about the men who left.So stop worrying about what people think and do your best for your kids ,you will be rewarded and If you try not to be bitter and learn from your mistake (of picking a woman like your mother )then you will hopefully do better next time.

It's a media thing.
When TV, media, etc was new, fathers ruled the house and women cooked and cleaned.
Since women's liberation came about, men are now shown as idiots while women take care of everything.
At some point balance will be found and the media will catch up to real life and realize that both parents are important.

These are the untold stories of our society. It isn't talked about much because everyone is trying to make the mom seem not so bad.
An alley cat would be more help in raising children. Who knows what went on in these gal's lives that made them this way. Best of luck!! I bet you have your hands full!!

Because 9times out of 10, when the father leaves, the mother is the one who raises the kids in your situation its different

it's pretty rare that dads are the main parent in a divorce situation, which is why moms tend to be idolised as 'angels', as you put it. Look, clearly this is not only the case, but hey, that's life and at least you know that dad's are awesome (well some of them...). Good Luck :)
