i know of a few people who it goes both ways (men leaving and women leaving) with DD1 myself and her "father" if you can call him that split up it was a week after her first birthday, 2 years later after a lot of arguements, solicitors etc he finally gave up and said in front of her "i have 2 other daughters now i dont need claire" and although it is best for her not to see him (long story but criminal, druggo, bickie gangs just not safe for her to be around him) it still hurt just the dont need her part shes not an object shes a human being
