Just a guess, you're talking to the women in these scenarios aren't you?
Well, I couldn't even speak with the fathers because..they weren't around.

I know several single mothers who genuinely believe their exes only take the kids for visitation to piss her off and torture her by having to be without them.
Ironically, I know someone who is actually going through that right now.

These men love their children, and in turn think that she is doing everything she can to turn the kids against him. People in these situations notoriously don't have a damn clue what the other side's motivations are.
Well, the father of the child of my best friend *claims* to love his son, but everyone knows (including his own family) that he only takes the son for visitation just to spite her and keep her "in line" (in other words, keeping her from taking his ass downtown to have his wages garnished for child support). He has paid NOTHING towards this child's well being. He was supposed to pay for daycare, but couldn't do that, so the child was put out of the daycare, and left my friend in the lurch. Luckily, his sister is able to babysit. Granted, some things she brought on herself, but damn!
