(After reading the comment from Samuel Jackson it provoked me to wonder on the following:) Help me understand this: how a man can walk away from his child, continue with his life, and never look back at his child until holidays. Though true, he may pay child support, but no phone calls to ask, "how was the first day of school?" never knowing if the child had a cold, fever, or scraped knee. No interaction until Christmas and Summer, is that a dad? That thin line between love and hate... is that it? hate for the mother? Hate for the woman who God allowed to give birth to a beautiful child who wear the man's name? A child should represents the pride of the dad; God said, "This is my Beloved son in whom I am well pleased." Pride for the Son should place you with the son no matter what because Mary, Jesus's mother, she was there with her son when he turned water to wine and when he died on the cross of crucifixion. Why distant yourself from the child because the mom will always be there. Why would a man not be there?
