I’m not sure where you don’t get “deadbeat” from. He was gone for 4 years of the daughter’s life; it doesn’t appear to be 50:50 custody (or she would be obligated to tell him that they moved) and in the conversation between them, MC says something like he comes back after 4 years like nothing happened. Yes, she dropped out of college and that could have been her sole decision but when pregnancy is involved, it could have been a joint decision. Unless your opinion is that she should have had an abortion. We don’t know the conditions of her pregnancy, we don’t know if she has or had parents or siblings for support (although it would make the most sense story-wise that she had neither), but if she had a normal pregnancy and no complications, she would be out for minimum 3 months if not 6 months or so. She would have flunked out if she did not withdraw.
