A mother-father family is the best environment for a child. Narcissism does seem to be what's driving a lot of similar pregnancies/adoptions.

But why take it out on the kid?

By all means, help.

I have an ex- GF who, as a single mom, adopted two older Russian orphans a year and a half ago, and I try to involve myself in activities with them as much as I can. It's healthier for the kids to see even an occasional male role than to be only with mom, IMHO.

Well said...help and support, without rancor. It is what it is and condescending is the wrong approach. My extremely bright and accomplished sister divorced with a young son...I was more than willing to act as a role model for her son when she thought appropriate. So should you, when your friend thinks you can.

Her now college age son and I are the best of friends...I would not have missed it for the world.
