The bottom line is that his (already weak) plan for being granted sole or majority custody has fallen apart. And that's going to be another slap in the face to a guy who already feels like the world is caving in on him. I'm not saying this isn't of his own doing, but it's gonna sting him badly and I hate seeing a dear friend hurting like this. I feel so helpless. I feel like sending him over to my folks' house for a weekend, where my dad will give him some tough love talk. He respects my dad a lot. His own dad passed away when Phil was 4.
