My daughter's father is a deadbeat dad. He joined the army and decided he didn't have to support his child anymore. I actually think that's the reason he joined but he comes back and thinks everything's gonna be fine and dandy but he's not coming into her life and ruining it by hopping in out. There's no such thing as a part-time dad. She has a step-father now that loves her as his own. I just wish her dad would sign over his rights and leave us alone and let her get on with her life with a dad that really loves her and support her.
