Hmmm. Well, maybe now he’ll end up in prison (which he deserves), where his biggest concern will be whom \*he’s \* going to call “Dad(dy)”. Fuckin’ idiot. ---

No matter how long you’re with a kid, even if it’s years since they’ve seen or heard from their biological father, you can’t be what you never were. This ass should have just been glad that the kids cared for him, which I doubt they will now. Buh-bye to that relationship, too. Mommy can’t stay with the guy that killed her babysdaddy if she wants to maintain a healthy relationship with her kids. ---

Well, that’s one marriage made in heaven that is thwarted. ---

**Lisa** , care to lay odds? I’d say that there’s at least a one in three chance she’ll stick with him. 8-( ---
