Divorce Doesn't Mean Ignoring YOur Kids

I met a kid (19 year old) at the grocery store the other day. I wondered why he was working as a checker. Another clerk told me his mom died about 6 months ago and he was left alone with his brother. This "Kid" had worked his way up from the bottle return room (yuk) to support his brother and himself. When I asked where was his dad the answer was, "divorce."

That's didn't answer my question. The answer turned out dad was in another state and wasn't helping out his son. Like I said in Dads Matter, you are a dad to your kids forever, divorce is from your spouse NOT your children.
