I'm a bit calmer and slightly more sane today, so I can talk about this without *total* violent rage building up.
to start, my best friend I've known since about 1st grade got married last December. A quick court wedding, only her family knew. She was pregnant, and her man said "i want the family, I want you" etc. So they got married, and baby was born in July. I was the only one besides her immediate family there for the birthing, I saw how much they interacted with each other, how genuinely happy they looked, especially her. (she was told she couldn't have kids, so this was special for her)
two months later, there's a huge problem, he accidentally drops the baby monitor hand held thing on baby. there's a massive investigation, because she was at work, so they had to go through all the nonsense to get things right. Baby healed beautifully.
October 6th comes, I'm out to dinner, she calls me in tears. He threw a fit and left. Said he wants his old life back. Very childish BS. Over the next almost 2 months, he tries to get his shit together, job car etc etc, and she lets him keep seeing his son, mainly because she has to work.
December comes, he makes a remark about being married a year and cant believe it. three days later, he tells her he's done with the marriage. She's not a *complete* wreck simply because she's a very logical person, we discussed it happening the first time he threw a fit in Oct. He still has to do child support, and she doesn't like the idea of child not having father, so he has him while she works.
Yesterday I find out baby has been hospitalized since Saturday. he "dropped him while feeding him" because the baby poked him in the eye unexpectedly. He wears glasses. When the doctors mentioned it looked like abuse, he fled the hospital.
baby had three different skull fractures, a cracked rib, and bleeding in the brain. I'm told he is much better now, that he is healing. He potentially went home with his mom last evening, pending doctor clearance.
All I could think of is just this blind rage and how much I want to beat him to near death, and leave him in a heap of his own disgusting life. since I choose to not have any kids, I consider this child one of mine. My family and friends all said the same, they hope he's arrested... or beaten.
Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get it out.
this is him, insert shameless showing off photo here:
