[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3975920, member: 24302"] My wife ran up an $8500 bill that I'm paying for. I had to "run off" to demonstrate that there are consequences for doing so. I'm coming back in May, but with the clear understanding that if we don't get the bills paid, and I can't stick to my health regimen for my diabetes, then I will have no choice but to leave again. She knows I mean it. You on the other hand are talking nonsense about how all these "unwanted" kids are just turned over to the state. Huge difference between that and kids going into foster care because of their parents behaving badly. My brother worked for years as a social worker who dealt with these very situations. He was there to supervise time spent with parents who very badly wanted to be with their children. The idea that most of these people just cast off their responsibility onto the local government is ludicrous. [/QUOTE]
