Man, is there something in the water lately? This is the second letter in like a week from a single parent that essentially amounts to, "my partner doesn't want to have anything to do with my kids; what do I do?"

THIS IS NOT A HARD QUESTION. I admit that this is easy for me, because I never felt any great need for a romantic partner (I have often told my spouse that it is proof of how much I love him that I overcame my inclination to be a single cat lady), but I can't think of a single person or thing that I would choose over my child. And any person who doesn't respect and understand that is not a person I want to be around.
