i think it’s selfish. he left his 8 year old son behind. he didn’t meet his granddaughter until she was 12. he left his mother for 28 years.

I don't know why people celebrate him. he left his mother for 23 years and his daughter and grandaughter. a very selfish man.

sammiescrochet :
He’s not an inspiration he left his kid without a Dad, let his mum grow old and didn’t care. He’s not a hero as some are saying either. A hero is one that fights fires, fights for their country or saves lives.

mums get judged for going on a night out but this guy walks away from his 8 year old child to take a 28 year long walk and he's applauded

Apparently he walked off leaving his son without a father for 28 years, he’s no hero. He’s definitely not an inspiration.

He just got a 28 year brake from life. And his family and children! I think it’s selfish what he’s done.
