It's people like that who give those gov't programs a bad name. They are set up to help people who genuinely need it. Granted it can't all be on him because the women do have the opportunity to make him wear a condom or use other forms of birth control but even in those cases, accidents happen. And it's terrible that our tax dollars go to people who abuse the system. But in that case I still feel like it's better to help those who need it and have a few take advantage then take it away from all and have good, honest people struggle.

I guess the best you can hope for is to educate and hope they make the right decision. My friend's ex was kind of like that. He has a kid with a woman he isn't with but still takes care of their child to an extent. But he is so down on himself claiming he had such a terrible upbringing and can't do anything about it. While my friend who was dating him has a father who went blind from cancer and can't work and her mom has had to pick up a second job to keep up the house and family. Yet she is going to school and working and breaking the cycle.

What is really sad is that the children are the ones who suffer. They don't deserve to be brought up in a household like that and haven't done anything to deserve it. Hopefully they will see how terrible the situation is and make better decisions later on in life.

I'm sorry your foster daughter still hooked up with a loser. Your granddaughter deserves better than that. I hope she can see what he has done and not make the same mistake again.
