I don't regret my daughter's father. He hasn't wanted to be a part of her life, he's a coward and he's selfish. But, he's paid his child support every month, and he hasn't made life hell. So there you go.

Besides, I would never regret anything having to do with my daughter. She's the best kid ever. EVER!

Just found out my mother keeps a picture in her purse of my father holding my brother and I (as a baby). I thought she was over the scumbag. I asked her why did she keep it and she said she just keeps it as a reminder. A reminder of Hell for sure.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Can't think of anyone better than my husband and that's the truth.

I think my father only had kids out of the "social obligation" or at least an obligation to my mother who wanted children. I think once I was a teenager, we connected a bit better. Much better now that I'm grown and out of the house.

How old are you? Most men only have kids to keep the woman.

My mother is an outstanding mum, very loving, dedicated and made lots of sacrifices for us. But sometimes I wonder if she regrets having my brother and I because, after all, we are also sons of the man who made her unhappy for 30 years.

Even though we both hate our father, I question if she doesn't see him when she looks at us and regrets having children with him.
I don't...and I seriously doubt that your mom would look at you two sons and have ANY regrets AT all. If anything when she looks at you ,she'll probably be thinking fondly that you're the best thing that came out of the relationship, and even if it's for that alone, it was worth it.

My mother doesn't, even though he made her life miserable. I don't understand it, I could never be as selfless as her.

No. I have reason to (and I'm sure it's mutual), but I don't,

I love him and I am grateful for all the parts of my son that are him. I wish him well. We keep in touch only as much as necessary.
