I think as a culture(and most definitely in Christianity), we need to stop agreeing to this bizarre frame that all women are virtuous, pure of heart and if something bad happens to them, its because some man corrupted her.

While I agree that men SHOULD take care of their children, women SHOULD only sleep with men they are married to and they SHOULD agree that the husband is the head of her and their children.

I for one, am tired of band-aids being applied to organ failure

I will say though, she like many women, put up with some stuff that I think is unacceptable. If you ask her why, is was to help him. He needed her. Classic manipulation of a good heart.

This garbage is one gaping reason why the Church is failing. The Church has adopted this strange chivalric concept of women being pure and virtuous and if she does something bad, some man along the way either let her down or coerced her into bad decisions.

It was ok that she had sex with this man because "she loved him." That doesnt negate HER role in the bad decision making. She subjected a child to a home without a father and she is just as much to blame as the father is.

Child support laws don't always make sense.

My wife was a young immigrant that couldn't afford an attorney when she divorced her ex husband. The ex husband hired the sleaziest lawyer in town who threatened to have her deported that day if she didn't give him primary custody and child support in the divorce. She's been fighting an uphill battle ever since and still paying child support even though the child is 18, because she hasn't graduated high school.

When the kids were still young, but after the divorce the father recklessly killed one of her kids and maimed the other for life. That allowed my wife to get back to 50/50 custody, but they still let her ex husband retain primary residency, therefore requiring her to still pay child support to the man that destroyed her children.

She provides everything for the remaining child that he does and pays her health insurance on top of it. The only difference is that he get to keep her more nights at his house, so he has to feed her more (she barely eats). Clothes, housing, school supplies, medical bill, etc. are all paid by both parties, but he gets another $550 per month from her child support while he's sat at home jobless for a decade. For what? What justifies the parent that gets more visitation also getting paid child support when they provide nothing extra?

Now she's looking at potentially having to pay child support for the rest of her life, because her daughter is disabled thanks to her father. So she might have to pay her ex husband for the rest of her life as a reward for him killing her son and maiming her daughter. It's just wrong! We're in a legal battle to stop it, but he's brainwashed my stepdaughter, which doesn't help.
