I went to the chemist today. There wad a couple in front of me, the woman was talking to the shop assistant, and the man turned to talk to my dd2 in her pushchair. He coo-cooed at her a bit then asked me if it was a boy. I feigned shock horror and said no of course she's a girl, we had a giggle and he told me they were 3 months pregnant, they hadn't known each other very long, she already had a 21 year old and an 18 year old but it wad his first. I asked if he wad excited and he said yes but she had drug and alcohol problems, so he wad scared, they were trying to sort it out and she wad there for het methodone. I said yes they would need to sort it out, but being scared wad probably a good sign huh? He relayed this to his girl friend trying to plus het into the conversation and the assistant had finished talking to her. All hell let loose....its not do easy having a baby when you're a drug addict. They take the babies away and give them to nonces and alcoholics. White people know nothing about having babies. Don't talk to them, I fucking hate white people and their filthy mixed race babies, taking all our men, it ain't like this in Jamacia.....and on and on. He tried to talk her down but she wouldn't stop.
I went and sat in the other waiting area at the other end of the shop obscured from her view. She ranged until they left the shop. Half of me thanked fuck I don't have the problems she does, half of me wanted to knock her teeth out for insulting me and my dd. But ALL of me feels overwhelmingly sad for that man and his first experience of being a dad and that poor baby. It WILL get taken from them won't it? He seemed like such a genuine gentle so that wanted to do the right thing and had all the right concerns. But he will waste his time trying to make her ok, and the baby will ne taken from them.
I wanted to run after him and tell him to drop het and go for sole custody
Gah. I know its not my business. It's so sad
