Re: Deadbeat dad thread
(Anonymous) 2014-01-17 02:25 am (UTC)(link)My cousin S is severely autistic. Asshole uncle blamed my aunt for "making him that way" and really bought into all that BS about how unloving mothers are responsible for their children's autism. S lived at home for the first part of his life, even though he was really too much for Aunt and Uncle to handle, because Aunt was a stay-at-home mom and according to Uncle "the kids are your problem." After awhile, Uncle got sick of S and shipped him off to a group home, without telling Aunt or their other kid E. Then he decided he was sick of being married, kicked Aunt and E out of the house, divorced Aunt, and refused to pay child support or medical bills for for S because "he's not a normal kid" and "Aunt made him that way." And according to him, because S was in a home, he was "the state's problem now." Never mind that in the state they lived in, quality care cost a small fortune and A, being a totally-dependent single mom, had no resources at all...
The real kicker is that Uncle knew, before getting married and having kids, that his chances of having disabled/impaired kids was sky-high. He blamed S's autism on Aunt anyway.
Years later Uncle tried to buy E's love after paying almost no attention to her since the divorce. He decided he was going to buy her a car for her 16th birthday. E lived in the middle of a large city and had no need for a car (I don't think she'd even learned to drive yet), so she suggested he put the car money in a savings account so that she could afford college. Uncle's response? "It's a car or nothing." He then didn't give her anything b/c he didn't want her selling the car and paying for silly things like food and school.
