A mother's figure is a very important role to kids. Every kids need a mothering love and emotional support.

How do kids live without a mother, if it comes to that point?

I was a bit confused by this post. There seems a large difference between a mother figure and your Mother's figure, even if your Mother doesn't have a large figure. Somehow, the whole idea of contemplating your Mothers figure seems a touch pervie.

Sorry about my old response to this. It was meant as a 'shut up' type response to Pro as some of his postings were just so irritating that 'shut up' seemed the only reasonable response. Again, that wasn't cool at all and I appologise.

Apology accepted..time won that battle for you. I believe he was having a very hard time in dealing with the mother of his children. He had cusody of them(cooked, cleaned, checked homework etc) until she took him back to court. He was very heart-broken and disillusioned. This is not to excuse some of his worst behavior..but everything has a cause and effect.

Well, I hope things get better for him anyway.
