6. Someone must think I'm just made o free time, if I'm going to do the elaborate charade of pretending

Oct 2012

to discuss things with... myself.

Although honestly, in 8+ years I've seen weirder shit around here than that.

Okay- yes, messy. Although in the situation I described above, I do think that the "father" who provided emotional and financial support for, say, 5 years DOES have a responsibility to the kid. An emotional responsibility, and a financial one. That's not to say it's not a fucked up situation- it is- but I would take issue with someone turning around and saying "you're not mine, bye" after all that time, to a 5 year old.

Not to say they wouldn't have a damn good reason to be upset, pissed off, feel betrayed, etc.

Which is why I think the "time limit" laws are in place, and why I think they make a certain degree of sense.
