further views on left behind children from separation/divorce

[SarahCole446]

I have seen a few threads one being in particular someone posted in 2012 that reads-
''if there is ever a good enough reason to abandon a child after the breakdown of the relationship/marriage with the child of the relationship'' in this particular thread for example a Dad has walked away from the child from a divorce/separation. What reasons would be acceptable to others?
Would not being close to the child, or what about man claiming abuse or what if the child is adopted, what if the child is older in their teens or what if the mother of the ex partner is apparently 'stopping contact'
These are just a few things that was mentioned in this particular thread ...are there any excuses to which anyone would except that a father does not see his child since a separation/divorce?

Well, my dd's dad trotted out an excuse when she got back in touch with his family. She is a bright girl and she did not buy it. I think if someone has a reason, the test isn't whether it's socially acceptable but whether it is good enough for their child.

There is no excuse IMO.

DH and I have had our fair share of problems and were close to separation at one stage. But we always both agreed on 50/50 for the kids.

There is a poor regular poster on here who's ex has abandoned their adopted child post separation. Which is just cruel.

oh really? how cruel :( and yes i find some excuses poor too. I just wondered on the back of that thread on here I have read from 2012 if there was just any excuses or reasons that anyone else would accept reasons why a father would not be involved with his child from divorce or separation and any valid excuses for example if they say the ex wife is a monster or is horrible etc or blocking the kids to see the father are these statements like generally accepted socially or not...(but I didnt want to give my actually full opinion on it to sway the thread I just wanted to know others experiences on this or thoughts)

and yes i agree with that how the dc views it too and if its good enough for them I am sorry about your dd dad did that to her too

what about step children too I will throw that into this thread too for example if the Dad has been in the DC lives since a baby would that make a difference or just in general does it matter, is there any excuses for a Dad to not be involved at all (I am more so referring to Fathers that are called Dad and has been treated as the only dad in the family no other father involved)
