Like I said, he never speaks much about the issue. He doesn't like it if you try to force the topic.

^ I was thinking that also, Ruth. Financially, he "lost" the game. Morally, he lost also. 3 women were likely very hurt & betrayed. OP's mom may not have dated since because of it. I consider that a heavy price, but I guess it's all cool if you're not the one who is hurt & you get what you want .

He may have lost it morally at the time but it was so many years ago I suppose he has regained his morals. I never said what he did was right.

I'm sorry for my mother but I think it has passed more than enough time for her to get over it.

I don't know if this is relevant but he was considerably older than the 3 of them at the time. He was certainly much more experienced than them.

Your dad doesn't seem very bright, OP. Sorry.
Smart people can do dumb things, too. It sounds like his dad wised up a bit. Some people do. Some never do.

You DO know that you just made what your sperm donor did back then sound even WORSE, right? Wow. Just wow.

I would be pleased if you stopped calling him sperm donor.

People weren't thinking straight back in those days; blame it on cocaine.

You don't need to defend your father's actions. Back then, you were just a twinkle in his eye.

That's ridiculous. Most people were thinking straight.

Did he pay child support for all his kids?
