In reply to The Human Loss :-(, posted by Susan J on September 22, 2003, at 10:17:29
I'm sorry Susan. If she is the type of woman to leave her child, the human loss will turn out to be a blessing. He needs to get her for child support and to continue health care coverage for the child. No Mr. Nice Guy. This is for his child's welfare. Support him in this fight (and I know you will).
Maybe he can do careful research to find someone to rent a spare room out to. Someone to be a friend that's good with kids. Is he near you? Could you help him with some things, like laundry once a week? Any help will be one less thing for him to worry about.
I wish you and your brother the best of luck.

And now she's gone. She did leave the child with him, though, which is the only good thing I can say....
