Abandoned

Husband left her
she’s raising six kids
Why is life so darn unfair?

No answer have I. Only G-d knows... Great question, Alexis. Peace, Gershon

Probably he will leave the next wife with 4 and the following one with two or three and so it will continue. Hope the children don't meet by accident and don't know they are even related, a possibility which would be a tragedy - well penned Alexis. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

It frequently falls on the woman . And then you have the opposite big problem, a man who uses kids for control and won't let his woman escape from him by threatening to take the kids away. Good one. Maybe one day there will be justice in this world.

I'm not familiar with this form, Alexis, but there are a lot of single mothers trying to provide for their children with no support from the fathers. It makes me angry too. So glad I got to see this! Hugs, Carolyn
