Hi Torn Lace.
I grew up the same way, their were 5 of us and it was a struggle. I carried a lot of resentment towards my father and it took me long time to get over it. You are right the primary responsibility of all invovled is the child's welfare, ALWAYS.
I hope you dont let your child hood experiences retard any relationships you have as an adult, but I know that is difficult.
Not all men are pigs, just most of us.
