< p > point where & oacute; I never wanted to be a father.

< p > I wasn't a bad man.

< p > I did not hurt anyone intentionally.

< p > but I never felt associated with any of these children.

< p > every woman m & oacute; wiped the same:

< p > — This is your son

< p > — This is your C & Amp; Oacute; Rka.

< p > A I ?

< p > I just pulled out the wallet and paid.

< p > alimony & ndash; regular, in accordance with the court judgment.

< p > all in accordance with the law.

< p > children had something to eat, had clothes, had a roof over their heads.

< p > which more could like ?

< p > and yet each of their mothers told me the same:

< p > — Money is not everything.

< p > — Come.

< p > — They need you.

< p > — Why you never call ?

< p > — Why don't you come for your birthday ?

< p > — Why are you not interested in their lives ?

< p > — How much is needed this time ?

< p > The boy smiled mocking.

< p > — Nothing. I don't want anything from you anymore.

< p > and then I realized that I lost everything before I was still in the fire. < p > because you can't be a father only on paper.

< p > and I have never been any more.
