Fathers day? What's that?

Why is it that men find it so easy to turn their back on thier offspring? I have a close friend that is going through a divorce and shares custody of her three year old daughter with her soon to be ex-husband. Late last night she recieved a phone call from him asking her if he gave up all his rights to their daughter would she drop her claim on child support. He basicly sold his daughter. My daughter's father has never met her and has never shown any interest in doing so. My own biological father never contacted me during my life and even though I sought him out and spent years getting to know him, he still never treated me the same way he did the daughter he raised. Is it genetic? Is it something primal? I mean is it like male lions just goin around mating and producing babies just to have their seed out there? I know that there are many fathers that truly love their children and would do anything for them but they are few and far between these days. It's no bloody wonder that female homosexuality has soared the way it has in the last few decades. Even though I didn't grow up with my biological father i did have a dad. My mother remarried when I was just little and I grew up believing that Tom (her second husband) was my father. I was a daddy's girl and loved him to death. we were a family till my mid twenties when my parents divorced. I was devistated to find that my dad divorced me too. when he fell out of love with my mother he seemed to fall out of love with me as well. Through my life I have never felt the unconditional love of a man in any form. The only constant I have experienced is my mother, daughter and sisters. Rather than dwelling on this I would like to rejoice in all the love I have, all the women that have been there for me through thick and thin. Women truly are the beauty in this world.
