    Bravo, Cary

    Reading that, I couldn't help but think this girl might have a mental illness or a learning disability of some sort. Or maybe she's simply traumatized from the experience of being abandoned. Who wouldn't be? Whatever the situation, the LW won't do herself or the girl any favors by staying in this relationship. Dad needs to focus on his kid.
