As you can see from my post count I have not had much to say about any topics. However this one caught my eye when I started to read the threads. I am not trying to get into an argument with anyone and I am not trying to save this chick but let me add this. I grew up without my dad, I mean I have never seen the man face to face and he stayed in the same city as me up until recently. I remember some real hard times my mother and I went through but she never went after him for money or anything, she raised me, bought her own home and did the best she could. I'm married, have my own kids, nice house, cars, so I really don't want for anything, I'm blessed!
As for 50 / fiddy, whatever money that kid and the moma gets, and lets say even with the absence of a dad in the house he stays alive and out of jail, is it going to replace the presence of Curtis Jackson. I mean, how many of US in hear if given the chance, at 10 years old, knowing what we know now, would take a million dollar payoff as a substitute for a real relationship with our father. You cats in here that come from full parent households please let me know, if what I am saying is just some bullshit and having a father grow up with you is just hype, please tell me because I really don't know. Strange thing about it, I never really gave it much thought until I started having kids now it just seems to constantly be on my mind.
Yea the court system is screwed up, more than you think you know, yea the women should have to carry her own weight and earn just like everyone else, but how many of us here are still here based soley on the strength of Mom's. If the chick and lil-man got some off-green pieces of paper with some dead white folk pictures on it in exchange for no husbend and no father to teach her son how to survive this hell we are in, and she thinks she got over, she still got played. I know I love my children and my cycle of no Dad in the house will end with me. What's up, if your father wanted to be with you how much would you take in trade or sell him for???
