Gals,on the issue of crap dads....

My WAH has told me he is going back to Europe to live his life. Finding a job here seems a temporary measure, and as he is having very little luck in that department, then even more temporary than ever.

IF he was promising to stick around and be a father, then this would be so different.

But this is what I have today:

-a WAH in an A with OW who is in his country in Europe
-he's telling me he's going to live his life o/seas and I should find a stepfather for the child and the kid will be alright
-He would like the child to carry his surname in some way
-he had never asked me or agreed to be at the birth (but friend says he wants to)
-he was terrified about me sending his stuff to him becasue he was nowwhere to store it and can't afford storage, and was also terrified when I talked lawyers and money
-he wants to be friends.

Sounds like the biggest cake eater in the world to me.

* btw, remember my H never had a Dad. He was abandonned one month after birth and met his dad 3 times in his life.
