What happen about the Jewelry Boxxes of those womens?
Yesterday, I passed a jewelry store that was having a sale on watches and said
you could trade in your old watch. I was reminded of the pocket watch my s2bx
gave me a long time ago. It's sat in my jewelry box, broken and unused for a
half a dozen years or so. As I thought about that, and the problems we've been
having with custody discussions lately, I thought, "The only thing of lasting
value that my s2bx ever gave me was my kids....and she's trying to take THEM
away." So, let me turn the question around, "Why _do_ they (women) do this?"
-Well, in some cases it's because the dads don't fight back. Lots of men are
getting custody now and in cases where they don't and the mom is withholding
visitation, they (the moms) are being held in contempt. No one will fight for
you as hard as you can fight for yourself.
-You forgot another reason....becuase the leaving spouse is not happy for whatever
reason. It sounds simplistic but the more people I talk to, the more this search for
elusive "happiness" occurs. And when the search begins, anything else that stands in
the way, gets pushed aside, including kids.
-Why does anyone do anything to purposely hurt another
individual? Normally because they are either a cold fish,
bitter, or seeking some kind of revenge. Doesn't mean that
any of those feelings are justified. And even if they are,
these feelings generally end up hurting a third party not
even involved...ie: the kids.
People are human and have human failings...one of which is
that we are vengeful creatures when we perceive wrong doing.
Another, humans are basically selfish.
But we are also creatures that generally protect our young,
and if people really woke up and realized that some of this
crap is hurting the kids, they might be able to stop this
type of behavior.
