"Truth or dare sweetie...." Cindy asks her only son. Since it is his mother that is going to be the one to dictate his instruction Tyler seems a tad less confident and requests a question rather the and assignment. Cindy cocks her head to one side. "Do you ever wish daddy would just go away?"

Tyler glances off towards the ground for several seconds, considering his response before looking back up at his mother. "Yes, I do..., sometimes." He lets out slow, low breath. "It's not that I don't love dad.., I do. It's just that some times he makes you cry and he doesn't take care of you right." Now that Tyler has started he going so fast his words are just one run on sentence. "He spends more time at work then he does here, so I will have to be the one to take care of you and the baby. If he went away nothing would really change that much. I would take care of you and you would take care of me."

Cindy listens intently to the boys words, words that resonate a certain truth considering the young boy they came from. "I know baby.., and you take very good care of me." Tyler beamed at his mom's praise. Tyler's words seemed just as true for your situation as well and your thoughts drift towards Timmy for a moment, what it would be like for it to be just you and him. Though he seemed to have a firm handle on the circumstances of his life you suspect that with absents of Steven that one thing would significantly change..., sleeping arrangements.
