CoGal:
You have kids. What are you teaching them? Are you teaching your daughter that she deserves love and respect and honesty from her future boyfriends/fiance/spouse? No.

Are you teaching your son to respect and love and be honest with his future girlfriends/fiance/spouse? No.

You may feel weak and overwhelmed when you think about what is required of you to deal with this deadbeat jerk. But remember your responsibility as a parent. I'd take a bullet for each one of my kids. Would you for yours?
