My brother left his girlfriend with a 5-month-old baby

They thought the baby would fix things, but he didn't, so the dad split. Does that mean he's no good?

    did you hear that? it's his subconscious... "But *I* want to be the baby"

    I wish I didn't read this letter, it breaks my heart.

    'cuz what are the chances that this guy is NOT going to screw up this little child's life indelibly, no matter what action he takes.

    And so it goes, a new f'ed up generation.

    I can only hope the brother with the conscious can add some stability to the situation somehow. Go LW!
