Dylan is a POS and the courts got it wrong! Blah blah blah....
Dylan is a piece of work. For a while I thought he was actually the aggrieved party. I realized he wasn't, and if I could personally apologize to Samantha for my lack of judgment, I would. Sadly, I can't even eat in a restaurant if she walks in. The legal system is a joke.
I don't doubt that Dylan may very well be a shitty person, but there is a concept that mentally ill people like Samantha cannot grasp. I'll try not to power level too much, but I was in a situation similar to Samantha's kids. Parents hated each other, ugly custody battle, father got custody of the children, etc.
I'll be the first to tell you that my father is a piece of shit. However, what do you think the courts do when both parents are shitty? That's right, custody will go to the slightly less shitty parent (barring extreme circumstances where the state decides to take custody).
Something you'll notice among mentally ill people is the black and white thinking, and the inability to self reflect. Since Samantha sees Dylan as bad, in her handicapped brain she thinks that she must be the opposite of Dylan, a beacon of goodness, and the courts have clearly done her wrong. Using my father's viewpoint, since he got custody of the kids this proved in his narcissistic brain that he was the good party all along, and not possibly just a better option than an alcoholic who was constantly driving around drunk with her kids in the vehicle.
Regardless, I hope that Dylan is a decent father and that those kids don't deal with the bullshit me and my siblings endured.
@Laylithe I know this will likely fall on deaf ears, but if Dylan is as bad as you say but the courts sided with him, then you're probably worse, bitch.
