It sure is hard to find a good man these days...He was not even close. He brought (not fathered) 2 children into this world...Did he have Life insurance? Of course not!

Actually, you got lucky. He was a loser. Sooner or later he was going to prison, and then where would you and the children be? Learn from your mistakes. Don't become involved with another loser, especially someone who would get you pregnant twice and lead you to think that someday he would marry you. If he hadn't married you before you delivered the second child, he probably wouldn't ever marry you. Sheesh.

Wow with a rap sheet like that, I would be shocked if alcohol WASN'T involved.

I am sorry for your loss. Drugs, Alcohol, Immaturity, sorry to say, seems to all be a factor. I pray that your children learn from the mistakes of the father. Mom, you will survive, and your sons need you more than ever. Be strong! Yes, you have suffered a major loss, but your babies have lost more. Be strong for your sons! They need you more now than ever! Prayers are with you and your sons!
