No point suing a drug addict son, he will never pay up

[@robbrown2007]

This is just so sad to hear. I really hope they can sort things out amicably.

[@TechBaffle]

I wouldn't sue him as I don't think that will help in any way. Unless the gardening equipment is worth thousands, I think if he can't get help for his son, it's better to not make things worse.

[@jziffi]

Wait, where did that bit at the end about this guy being a "wonderful dad" come from? How do we know that?

[@coderider3022]

Difficult, I would probably not pursue and ignore / move on.

Two plant pots
Pathetic

[@jordancrabbe4404]

Sad situation :( hate if my relationship with my child ended up like this.

[@MrTheg2009]

Sounds like Paul is really not helping with his sons "Problems"

[@alexs6770]

If his son is struggling maybe with substances or mental health or even just being angry with him, shouldn't he try to get his son help instead of wanting to sue him?

[@tictoc5443]

So sad

[@keonaortiz]

My mother told decades ago. In USA 🇺🇸 a 12 year old divorced his parents . And recently I heard again, from CZcams from Michael Jackson’s English bodyguard mentioned it in an interview about divorcing one’s parents , the notion of this is not heard of here in Uk. I have thought about it with my mother. We both live here in Uk and from South American.

[@MrMycosis]

Boomers, man

[@xgonne]

I'd be interested in hearing more about the divorce. Is Paul using this to get back at his wife (assuming, of course, that this wife is the son's mother)? This is a one side of a story. Always nice to hear both sides; get a more rounded picture.
