The way I see it is yes, the guy screwed up--yea, he screwed up real bad. He knows it and he's trying to figure out the best way to deal with it. He's not planning on running away and deserting the child, or the other adult half--the mother from support.
It's a suck ass situation, one I don't think I would have ever gotten into, even during my wildest, stupidest days. That said, I have done some really stupid and insensitive things that I wouldn't dare mention in here. To do so, even if I was soliciting helpful advice, would obviously just leave me wayyy too open for being bashed repeatedly.
Yes, the guy f-----d up big time, he knows it, we know it --I can't see the point in kicking someone when they're down again and again. It takes a bigger man to owe up to something in an honest way than to just knock her up and move on to the next island, like a whole lot of jerk kanos have done.
Yes, I know the culture over there and the world of hurt all this creates, but this repeatedly bashing this guy is pretty pointless in my opinion. And yes, he did ask for OPINIONS and advice, I know, but I think he's gotten the point already...
