My brother was the type of guy who constantly had girlfriends while he was in high school, each relationship never lasting more than a month. One of those friends, Ashlynne, was no exception. That is, until he was in college and they found each other online. Soon, without even seeing each other since high school, they decided to get married. My family was largely against the idea, but accepted my brother's decision and brought Ashlyn into the family as if she were one of us. Just a few months after committing to each other, they became pregnant. Both made this conscious decision without even being old enough to legally drink alcohol. Fresh out of toddlerhood, they decided to include a baby in the mix. Signs of mutual contempt and growing mutual antipathy have already made themselves felt in the lives of my brother and my son.
