My 34 year old daughter (As sweet as they come!!) met a guy on-line about 18 months ago (Which I wasn't thrilled about). According to her and some others who met him, he was THE one. He could cook, was good to my gullible child, ! Well they wanted to get pregnant...and now that she is 24 weeks into her pregnancy, he all of a sudden decides... this isn't what I want! Now from a father's standpoint, having to see my daughter suffer through the ripping out of her heart, crying, etc...Father's might can imagine what I seriously want to do to this self-centered, heartless piece of slime. A hint...it rhymes with Pill! I am so sick inside for my girl. She already has Two boys. All I can do is try to make her believe she'll eventually get over it, which is something she can't perceive right now. Anyway...
She's 34 and if she has two boys has already been through the loss of a partner or 2....she will get through this two....its hard for us as parents to watch our kids suffer but all we can do is be there to support them when they need us....we cant learn their lessons for them unfortunately....as far as the guy goes...he may or may not change his mind but he definitely at least needs to support his own child whether he wants to be in that childs life or not....he made the choice to have a baby too and he needs to be held responsible for that choice....
Op you’re doing a great job by being there for support, most likely he probably has done this to more women, she may not be the first and I bet he’s back online also but you’re holding the fort nicely some fathers would have snap so keep up the good work

Lookn, My heart breaks - not only for your daughter, but also the child.
My question is - why was his/their focus on having a child? Should it have not been on building a lasting relationship?
In my opinion, that is a red flag as the relationship should take priority over any offspring.
If he’s taking the fast train out of town, what is he afraid of?
...something caused him to change his mind... or he had planned it all along...

I would hire some big guys and have his legs broke
A child is the greatest gift a woman can give to the man she loves, or that's what some of us think... I do understand your frustration and anger but the child is hers too and if this guy is such a slime, it's better he showed his colours now than later... You all can do it together, walk through this and do a great job for the kid... My sister is a widow, met her second husband online and after the second year together they had a child, her and his third one (at age 42)...still together and happy... Your daughter has two kids and they are happiness, one more is more happiness, a little help and all will be fine...

At 34 she is not a child
And as her Dad, of course you'll feel her pain but it may be time for you to stand back, with love, and let her figure out her life for herself.
I can assure you when the baby's born he will be curious he will be back she will get her hopes up he will disappear again happens to a lot of woman but I will have my fingers crossed that he stands up well before the baby is born..
My concern is for the child I don't believe people need to stay together because of a child but I do believe they should be healthy role models put own feelings aside do what's best for the child.
lookn2share: Track16: I want to do more than bust him up...I touched on that in my statement.
The best thing to do would be to keep him alive, just shatter his legs so he can't walk no more, shatter his hands so he can't use them no more, shatter his jaw and teeth so he can't talk or chew no more, then get a bunch of thumb tacks, drench them in iodine, and drop him down on them . . . . repeatedly.
Its a sad story, but relationships break down for all sorts of reasons and its really only the business of those directly involved. Nothing happens in a vacuum, and although its painful to see a loved one going through it all, imagine if you made the consequences much worse for everybody by involving yourself in an unwise action.
pat8lanips: I am very cognizant when it comes to relationships (in every way). My daughter calls me every time when something unpleasant happens in her world. I don't choose to be involved, but always voice my concerns. Trust me...when my daughter suffers, it always cost me. The fact is, I am so very glad I am able to help, despite being a 'poor white boy'.
