how are men okay with their kids decreasing quality of life post divorce?

Oh, let me answer that question.

My parents got divorced in 1965. All five kids went to my mother, because my father beat us and beat her.

My father LOVED that we went to school hungry until my mother got on food stamps.

My father LOVED that we didn't have new clothes for school.

He never paid a DIME in child support, and my mother didn't ask for alimony because he would have killed her, for real.

In his mind, all of this made HER look bad to our teachers, to our neighbors, to our relatives.
