How long does a non-custodial parent have to be absent, before you can have their parental rights terminated?

Well, hopefully you don't live with him and just cruise on this a bit. Don't be in a hurry either way. Knee jerk reactions either way might be more taught than believed in so... ease into your decision.

Either choice you make will require great change.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
