He already has a 15 year old son from a relationship that he walked away from.
Really, so for the sake of her children she divorced their biological Dad? Now she's going to go find a stepdad who will be more committed to them? That's complete nonsense. She divorced Tom Brady because she didn't get what she wanted for herself. She inarguably did it for herself and her immediate self-interests, not for the sake of her kids.
It can work that way (for commitment to the kids). It’s not as if Brady gets to play only in home games. And I don’t think that he wants to return to playing simply for charitable reasons. I suspect he is satisfying his own self-interest, too. Do you disagree?
His ex (Bridget Moynahan) ended up marrying a fellow with three of his own sons. They made the commitment and made it work. And Brady’s 15 year old son from his ex-relationship has a good relationship with his biological father.
She may prefer to partner with someone who would remain more committed to their children.
And this is one of the most damaging misinformation revenge capmaigns too many women have carried out against their baby Daddy. They convince the children that their Dad walked away from the marriage because he didn't want the kids.
He didn’t insist on staying with Moynihan, even after finding out she was pregnant.
If his career requirements were a stressor on either the general relationship or his responsibility to his kids, and he publicly announced that he was retiring in part for those reasons, what should we take away from his sudden decision to reverse that plan?
When the reality is that the mother unilaterally took the kids away from their father because he wouldn't agree to her terms for a relationship. These kids grow up hating their father and thinking he doesn't love them, and from what I've seen (at least in my own culture and community) that is rarely ever true.
That didn’t happen the first time around for Brady. I suspect that it won’t happen that way the second time around, either.
Your comment does make me wonder how you’ve become so cynical, anyway.
