Testimonies: Single mothers reflect on absentee fathers

Woman Scorn Will Write or Murder
(For Marne)



This is a potent letter (uncencored & raw), which my girlfriend, Marne, gave me permission to display on this site. Her husband of 18 years recently picked up and became a "dead beat loser." This man, whom we thought had integrity, morals, and values, did not; this man whom we assumed was our friend, was not.

He left all of us.

Marne came home from work four months ago, and he, (Dead-beat,) had packed up and left. He took everything, except his stinkin' soccer balls. She found out later...he had two other girlfriends, a three year old child (living 6 blocks away), and he was a damn cheat, a lier, and a thief. She found out later, her entire marriage was a dirty rotten farce; she found out yesterday, he was back in town.

I asked her if I could place this letter on my blog, and she exclaimed,
"Hell Yes!"...Other women need to know they are not alone; other women need to know they will SURVIVE.

Here is the letter...with all it's poison and venom oozing off the page:

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!

18 years! amazing isn't it? We are in the cities for nsc cup. I
just helped Aaron write an E-mail to you while he was sobbing because you could care less about him and Gemi. Do what you want, but I beg of you to stop this torture of your children. You ask them to write to tell you what they've been up to? You don't care or you would have called collect and let them at least know you give a damn about them. You are the scum of the Earth for doing this to them they never deserved this pain you and only you inflect on the every moment of every day.

I hope you have found paradise with whomever or where ever you are because anything less then that just nullifies the love you have ever shown them. I hope it is worth it Dan. Everyone here that mentions you hopes you rot in hell for what you have done. Yes everyone wants to put their 2 cents in on what a bastard you are. In fact I'm getting sick of the conversation turning to you all the time.

I am celebrating our Anniversary as the last one I'll ever have with you.

Hallelujah!

I've have moved on and it feels great to know I'm an attractive and vibrant woman not the beaten down wife you made me. It has been hell for your children to be familiar places and remember times when we were a family. They don't know that you broke up our family years ago. Someday they will know. I'll make sure of that. You said in your first e-mail to me that you will always be their father.

Sorry buddy you will not as
