If this is true, it's best for everyone that he did leave.

Or are you talking​ about money?
I agree it is best for some to just leave. I do not care about the money. I always give the option of going away. But as I have told him a few times. "No need to pay if you go away, but if you are going to be a thorn in my side, you will pay. Choice is yours."

You sure made it easy for him to leave. And now you want to blame him for going?

I will never beg someone to stay somewhere, that they are so determined to leave.

We have had the same conversation no less than a dozen times in 3 years. At this point, he needs to just do what he is going to do.

But the reason for your thread is asking how he could walk away from their child, yet you basically paid him to leave.

Chemically dependent parents are often absent emotionally and physically.

One day the man came home from work and discovered his wife had vanished, leaving the baby behind. Strange how life can change in an instant.
I'd say the one's left behind got lucky! I felt such relief and JOY when our dad up an left us in my teens. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Now that baby may be given a REAL MOM!

I have never paid him. He makes 3-4 times my income.

Ok let me reword it for you...

How can a father walk away from his own child, when the only benefit is saving a couple hundred dollars a month? And how do you suggest that someone make him want to be invested in his own child?

When he doesn't want to deal with the mother of the child. As you said: "if you are going to be a thorn in my side, you will pay".
