                      A biological parent who willfully opts not to be an active participant in caring for their child, though oftentimes expresses negative emotions and/or words to the active parent or even the child for allowing a relative or the child’s step-parent to actively parent that child in their intentional absence. Although the biological parent may provide child support funds, they are typically insufficient; most often court-mandated; and [retrieved] through involuntary, automatic garnishments. An individual that fits this description, more oftentimes than not, has [fathered] or birthed multiple children by multiple individuals and, generally, neglect all said children at some point during or all of their [adolescence]...though expect that they themselves will be afforded the benefit of receiving those neglected children’s [love and respect] as if they earned the designation of mother or father when their flawed version of parenting is convenient for them. In summation, an individual who views himself or herself as the most important person in their life, who has [opted] to utilize the other parent to fulfill their own obsession with [procreation] without regard for the other parent’s or the child’s well-being at any point from the time of conception through the end of their own life.
