Family friends of ours have a crazy daughter that has ruined the lives of 3men...the parents have cut her out and have a relationship with the numerous children/fathers. She's a loon and does more damage to the families than if she just disappeared.
Apart from Dissentower wanting to fire Sutter he has always seemed like a decent guy, so cut him a break. Sorry about your luck with the ladies...hope things work out Dissentower.

There is no magic to bringing up kids and while every now and then you find one that doesn't seem to have any reason for being a loon, 99.99 times you can lay blame on a troubled kid on their parents.
I am not even saying Dissentower isn't a decent guy, what I am saying is once you have a kid you do have to 'give up' 19 years of your life, you do this if your happily married or a single parent, sometimes this 'giving up' is hard, sometimes it is the best experience you'll ever go through that defines you as a man and gives reason to your own existance, as such I didn't consider it 'giving up' my life, my being a parent was my life.
As to my education, I did ok at school but my mum run a refuge for abused women, I grew up helping her help them, going into social work was for me as natural as breathing and I have never been able to find another job that I cared about, working in an office in any capacity pales into insignificance when you have been the guy a kid trusts enough to disclose sexual abuse from some scum bag uncle or the like.
That said I have managed to parlay my skills into career that has paid for me to buy a decent house in East Vancouver and pays me over 100,000 net, which in my field is about as good as it gets.
