'She says I'm a horrible father': Divorced dad refuses to allow his deadbeat ex move in to his house, forcing her and his daughter into homelessness

Once you have a child, relationship drama is taken to another level. All the sudden, you're not just thinking for yourself and playing the game of love 1v1, but you have to start thinking of your love life as a game of 4D chess. One man recently found out exactly how far he was willing to go in the game of love– and how many steps ahead he was willing to bet on– when he lost custody of his young daughter in favor of his toxic ex. 

Courts always favor the mother in most custody battles, so OP was short on luck from the beginning. However, the stakes were raised when OP's deadbeat ex, and mother of his child, was struggling to find housing for the two of them. The dad continued to provide for his daughter and offered to pay in full for daycare and her other needs, but refused to go out of his way to pave the way for his ex to ride his coattails any longer. Eventually the situation boiled over when the mom lost her temporary housing option and reached out to OP to see if she could move back into his place. 

Knowing that he was playing chess instead of checkers, he refused, hoping to eventually be able to get full custody of his daughter once the mom's freeloading tactics lost their viability. Scroll for the full story on how this man stood his ground in the short term in order to eventually gain full custody of his daughter in the long run.
