I do not know why, with so much evidence, she needed to come to DC. Mr Hardaway obviously has a pattern and seeks comfort in other women, when he's unhappy with his partners. Maybe he should seek help to understand himself and become a better partner in the future. In any event, you do no need to be a husband to be a good father. Just make sure you're present and involved in your child's life. She will benefit more from healthy co-parents than however they might conduct themselves together at home.
