Selfish is As Selfish Does

"My Mommies not here tonight. She moved to Indiana."
"Oh yea, where do you live now?"
"I live with my Daddy. My Mommy left us for a guy. I don't see her anymore now."
"That stinks. If you were my kid I would never leave ya."
"That's what my Daddy says."
"It sounds like you have a good Dad."

A guy? How could someone leave their 10 year old daughter for some guy? This isn't the first kid that I've known whose mom left them for some guy. It makes me sick, it makes me sad, it makes me angry.  There are somethings that guess I will never understand.
