Who Is Responsible ?

I am 49 years old and I am looking for a job.I am a teacher I resigned from my position in 2002. I had a 2 year old and a 1 year old. I was teaching Kindergarten. I thought I was doing the right thing .The father of my children assured me, before I had the children, that he would be there to help me. Needless to say that was not the case. Being in my forties and married meant something different to me then it meant to him.This is the case all too often, when two people get together. I believed that because we were a little older things would be different. That was my first mistake. The reality that just because I believe or feel a certain way does not mean that those around me would behave the same way struck me.
I had been through similar circumstances I have 6 children these two were my fifth and sixth. I just knew that because we were older things would be different. I knew that no man that was forty years old could be so irresponsible. Well, I was wrong I had been married twice and left with the same result twice. I was left with the responsibilty of raising my children without a father. This is the case over and over again. There are millions of fatherless children in this country.
I honestly thought that my relationships would last and the men would actually be there.
When are we going to learn that we must be more responsible.I have never turned my back on my children. I will never understand how someone can just walk away from a child that they created. So many people look at whats going on in America and wonder why. Why are the children acting the way they are? Why so much crime? Why this?Why that? Look at the adults in this society. Thats why.
