> 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).

"The type of woman to leave her child"? I think that's excessively judgemental. Depressed moms sometimes (often? always?) feel they are doing their children a disservice, and the kids would be better off without them. Or too overwhelmed to deal with the demands of a kid. Maybe she was going to arrange joint custody.It's not like she smoked crack all day, took up with a pimp, and abandoned the child in a dumpster.
