This is not to say that Mr. Obama is wrong, because in many aspects he’s right: however, after driving my son back to Canada (where his mom, who broke up with me by phone two weeks before moving in with me, lives), I’m not in the mood. Not after driving 12 fucking hours yesterday because she refuses to buy a car.</p> <p>And I’ll leave it at that before I lose my temper.</p> I’ll hold off on commenting, because as a separated father fighting steep odds to stay involved with his kid, I am tired of hearing how I need to do better.
