Sigh

The evil ex has struck again.

The children don't keep in touch with their father too much. He's difficult to be around and doesn't really accept them for the wonderful cool people they are. But Sydney wants him to be in her baby's life. Every baby needs a grandpa, after all.

So she wrote him an email the other day, telling him about her pregnancy and inviting him back into her life to be daddy and grandfather. It was a beautiful letter.

His reaction? "I'm not surprised."

And now he's gotten it into his head that she must give the baby up for adoption. She very respectfully but firmly asked him to back off and let her be the one to make this decision, and thanked him for his input and support. He hasn't let up, though. He has hounded her with phone calls and emails, telling her that she's being selfish and harming the child by wanting to bring the baby up herself.

She is devastated.

It's all I can do to keep from hunting him down.
