    When you only are responsible for yourself this is a legit thing in my eyes. If this is the life he prefers and he is happy, go ahead.

    Doing this when you have a child is an irresponsible asshole move in my opinion. You are forcing your child into a live that just can’t be as healthy for them, physically and mentaly, then a more secure setting (that he had before) would be.

      Yeah I agree on both sides. His son is an adult now and still lives a life much like his dad. It’s too bad he was raised in that situation. When I call him a friend, he’s really just one of the few high school friends I’ve kept in touch with. We live far from each other but we say hi online a couple times a year and we had lunch together about a year ago when I was in California for a wedding.
