GQ demanded. "What...<i>"What the hell?" GQ demanded. <b>"What is wrong with you people? </b> Why am I always the bad guy? First, I'm the bad guy for wanting my kid, then I'm the bad guy for wanting to share him. It's your way or the highway, is that it? Whatever happened to all that compromise you were begging me for?"<br /><br />"Not this way," Mindy said. "Listen, GQ, I have this nephew... Or maybe he's my brother... In any case, he's a young man by the name of Peter Reardon. He's in college now but, when he was a little boy, my father and my stepmother adopted him. After a while, his biological mother wanted him back. Everybody loved him, so they decided to ultimately share custody. I called Peter a few days ago. I wanted his take on how the whole arrangement worked out."<br /><br />"And?" GQ asked softly.<br /><br />"He's a good boy. He loves everyone involved. But, he told me how hard it was. How he never knew exactly where he belonged. How, when he was with one parent, doing things their way, it felt like a betrayal of the other; and vice versa. How he felt like he wasn't enough for either, and that somehow even both weren't enough for him." </i><br /><br />I support Mindy's actions.<br /><br />Unfortunately, GQ's "What the hell is wrong with you people?!" shows me one thing: He is still only out for one person's welfare... his own.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08469264092377867319noreply@blogger.com
