So earlier boyfriend's ex called to tell him that his daughter will only be spending weekends here now, since she (the mom) needs the daughter to babysit her younger son. Boyfriend is understandably fucked up about it.

I'd love to be a cunt right now. I'd love to throw the fact that an actual divorce would = an actual custody arrangement which would = this not happening in his face like he did to me so many times. I'd love to say something like "Yeah, I know what it's like to be without my kids. Sucks balls, dunnit?"

But I can't.

Because no matter how big of a bastard he is, he does love his child. He does support her. He does spend time with her when she's not being a teenager & holing up in her room.

I don't wish having a person's child taken on anyone.
