the embassy said I have to fill out the birth abroad thing and that’s impossible
Because the mother is insane , illiterate , basically still on ice .
Definitely didn’t register him with her as mother or me as father .
I just made her her 1st I.d. card to make his passport , she was srey whatchacallit her whole life
at the hospital for her kids and even her arrests where in her made up name
There are no prenatal records . I have pictures of us together from when the baby was a baby
up until the cops got him away from her for extorting me .
And I still supported her for a few years past that . And even recently bailed her out of the clink and paid some her bills .
I wish she would …. cease to exist ..
I was gung ho to get it done during covid but the applications from the embassy
was too intense. . I wanted to escape and take him to hawaii But , but , but ….
Now I wouldn’t want to go there if I could We did get his cambrodian Passport
I haven’t given up but , I’m still treading water .

Hoping for the best and expecting the worst ..
i allready wasted $20,000 for a lawyer for another kid and not trusting any lawyer again
I’m not eligible for social security ( survivor benefits ) for him
He will not get the $$ in my joint ( him and me ) ABA account
Or even my g.i. life insurance if he don’t get registered as my heir

SNAFU ! To the max ..

The least you could do is get him US citizenship by parentage, it could open up options for your child. When you're gone it will be almost impossible. Then again he might be better off in Cambodia, I hear they don't like immigrants too much in the US.

Is this about what men want, or can women join in as well?

Women are better halves that complete the whole, of course the female opinion is important (to me).

Oh please.
Most women I know are completely complete, without needing a man to tell them whether their opinion counts or not.
I'm out, have a nice day boys.

How Fortunate the Man with None
by Bertolt Brecht
From the play "Mother Courage"

You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him,
To him complexities seemed plain.
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain.
How great and wise was Solomon.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became.
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same.
And as they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried: you too my son!
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's courage that had brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied:
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was the people's noble son.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's honesty that brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God's own laws.
So far he hasn't taken heed.
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve our bitter need.
How virtuously we had begun.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's fear of god that brought us to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Fame
Power

What we want is also different from what we need.
I want a peaceful simple life. Thank god Missus shares these same values.

For those that crave power and fame, there’s never enough. It can destroy families. The wife wants more, the husband says enough. She wants to divorce him just on that alone.
What if you had two buttons, press one for money, fame and power or, press the other for nothing.. ?

Isn't "not wanting" the above just another way of saying one has given up on trying to achieve it?
Not so simple as pressing buttons. Nor as simple as framing it as ‘giving up’.

There is a cost for power and fame.
Sacrifice of kids, family, spouse, health, life. Seeing it play out already in the small Khmer circle here.

I myself almost died early just trying to amass money.

Which is more important to have?

What defines happiness is individual.

Health is wealth ... at least in my book

Wealth will save health, at least in the book of every person lacking access to free healthcare.

Life ain't a tagline.
