Shut it
She doesn't pay child support, she should - no BS there but for whatever reason she doesn't. I suspect this is likely due to the double standard still out there about gender and child support and also that Dick is a high earner and mom is not. But here is the thing...Dick could have gone to court like any of the millions of mothers out there have had to do to get a little something extra from their children's other parent...but he did not...instead he clearly prefers to use that detail as part of his shtick (rhymes with Dick) to play the hero and attempt to make his daughter's mother look like a bad parent.
Dick was very abusive to his daughter's mother while they were together and continued this beahviour after their split in a textbook fashion. Grinding her down...bit by bit....eroding her confidence and will....encouraging her to kill herself on a weekly basis, name calling, withholding the child, threatening her with legal action, etc. He recently cut all ties between his daughter and her mother. Full force parental alienation happening now - he is even stopping his daughter's maternal family from contacting her unless they play along with the game that he is the King Dick of the Castle and his ex is a dirty rascal...see where this is going?
Tonight he played the poor me card on Facebook and it got me thinking that men likely use the fact that when women do not pay child support as a means to exert even more control over the situation...I think it gives them the upper hand. I can see examples of this within my own family. I hate insecure and emotionally retarded men who seek out women who have issues and go on to treat them poorly, controlling them however they can...exploiting them even further. Dick is a textbook abusive, controlling shit eater. His horrendous behaviour towards his child and her mother negates the good things he has done as a parent. It just undoes it all in my opinion. The level of selfishness - truly sad.
Sometimes parents have more to offer their children than a few hundred dollars a month...that should not be overlooked. I would have forgone the measly court ordered 200.00/mo in a flash if I could have traded it for a father who was genuinely interested in his daughter and had some love to offer her...in a heartbeat!
