WR, He's very paranoid and even if you were to ask him about his comments, I seriously doubt that he would have a rational answer that would make sense to you and anyone else living in the real world. This man is just out there and right now, he's learning the hard way that you can't leave home and think life is going to be all rosy because it's not. He, like so many others, didn't think things thru and they are finding out that life isn't the way that they planned it.
I think that in his mind, like so many others, they would run away and we would take on all of the responsibilities that they left behind. We would foot the bills totally and they could get off scot free. Very few will still pay on time and be there for their children. I'm sorry he's out there. It just annoys me when I read how he's behaving. Withholding funds is not the way to go and he doesn't realize it, but his sons are aware of what he's doing and once the damage is done, it is very difficult to correct the problems.
Poor, dumb fool.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
