People don't like to talk it about much, but some babies drive away the very people they would most like to keep in their life, sabotaging what would be healthy relationships but for the Dead Sea of their id:
A baby was abandoned twice in one night — first by her mother, who left the child with a man who gave her a ride, and then by the man and his wife, who left the baby at a hospital, police said.
...
Police said Michael Williams was driving home from work in LaPorte early Sunday when he was stopped by a woman he knows holding her baby. She asked the man to give her a ride to Gary, and when they arrived the woman exited the car and asked Williams to take her baby.Williams told police he suspected the woman was on drugs and agreed to keep the child. After he arrived home, however, he and his wife wrapped the baby in a blanket, attached a note, drove to a Portage hospital and left the baby on an emergency room counter.
Desperately needy and clingy, always wanting to be taken care of -- we've all seen this dysfunction dance before.
