Ex-Husband Sparks Outrage After Calling Daughters a 'Hassle'

Eight minutes after our divorce was finalized, my husband tossed the pen onto the table and smiled. “There’s nothing to divide.” Then he looked at our two children and said, “If she wants to take them, let her. It’s less hassle for me.” His sister laughed that he would soon have a “real woman” anyway, one who was carrying his son. Before I could even gather the divorce papers, his phone rang. His entire family was already at a private clinic, waiting for him to arrive for her ultrasound. He grabbed his coat and walked out to celebrate the baby he proudly called his “heir,” leaving our two children sitting beside me.

The first time Vaughn brought dinner to my office at eleven at night, I thought I had found the kind of man people were lucky to meet once in a lifetime.

We were twenty-five then.
