If Pat was any kind of father...

[TorquieTwoBeers]

He would have recognized his mistake, worked his ass off to save up every penny he made, and then when Annabelle reached age 18, given her the money for college or whatever while remaining respectful and not trying to force her into a relationship.

Instead, he quit his job ten years ago to write awful boring garbage and spent all of his money getting fat and going on rube vacations and arguing with trolls on the internet. When Annabelle turns 18, all she's going to get is disgusted at seeing what a worthless pig her biological father is.

Did I mention that Pat is fat and gay and stupid? Because I should have.

If he was any kind of father he'd have fought for custody

Its no surprise why he is so loud about abortion rights. I bet he begged Ade to get one.

He would be trying to play a small supportive part in her life in whatever way he could - for her benefit, not his.

I think once you legally relinquish custody like Pat did, you're kind of boned. They don't even let you do that unless you have a good reason. Otherwise dads all over the country would just relinquish their rights to avoid chowld support.

Wrong child, he is several kinds of father. Deadbeat, absentee, neglectful, overweight, etc.

What are the actual resons a judge would entertain that shit aside from the obvious like violence and chestering

It can always be relitigated no matter what. I was told this by my lawyer. You may not get what you want but it can always go back to court

I just assumed the other party would also have to agree.

If he was any fatter...


I cant even imagine it. Maybe someone who writes speculative fiction needs to work on that

I nominate the greatest new voice Science Fiction has ever seen, Okeechobee N'degge'ochello

 

[Carl Winslow]

He COULD fix the over weight part... or not.

 

[Sink Inspector]

why pay for college when he can leave copies of his books on her porch like a creep?

Annabelle could be a guest on Strictly Stalking because some weirdo keeps sneaking onto her porch and leaving things for her, publicly fantasizing about her getting raped and impregnated

Rick wrote “Yes judge child, I give up my child” on the paperwork. Judge did the right thing.

 

[Stent]

The absolute minimum of your job as a parent is just to exist in your child's life beyond sending a card on their birthday. I doubt Pat even sends a card.

Or maybe he does and the message inside is something he believes is deep and inspiring.

Deer Anabel,

You shuld now that you're reel father is fighting the gud fight against nazis so you can have an abortion.

No prezzie. Dinner later.

You would have to be crazy to expose someone like pat to a child. He is far too paranoid and an all around asshole that he provides nothing of worth to his own child. I could only imagine the off the wall crap he would put into a kids head.
